Proposed changes in national health care policy

Reference no: EM13499588

Some people worry about proposed changes in national health care policy. To support this example, see Kahneman and Tversky's (1979) notion of 'loss aversion' and the idea that many people will be more likely to try to avoid a loss rather than make a gain. Also, psychological homeostasis, and the feelings of anxiety that a change to the status quo can create, even when this change could be for the better, also sheds some light on people's reactions.

What steps might a Community Psychology professional take in an effort to transverse this type of resistance? Also, what are some other current examples of resistance to change, and how can Community Psychology act to help individuals and communities work through such resistances?
