Haha, B is just silly. Whoever wrote that option needs to go back to Psych 101.

B is just wrong. People with high self-efficacy are usually more open to change, not afraid of it.

I believe E is true for sure; managers really need to support their teams during change, but I’m a bit confused about the other options.

I feel like D could be true because passive resistance can be a real thing, but I can't recall if it was specifically mentioned in our readings.

I remember discussing how self-efficacy can actually help people embrace change, so I don't think B is correct.

I feel pretty confident about C and D. Those capture the emotional and behavioral aspects of resistance to change. I'm a bit iffy on B though.

I'm not sure about A - I think change impacts different people in very different ways. But D and E seem like solid choices to me.
EA

Okay, E is definitely true - managers need to support people through changes. And C makes sense, change can bring up a lot of fear and other negative emotions.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about B - I thought high self-efficacy would actually make someone more open to change. I'll need to think that one through more.
