A local veterans support group within the Waterbrooke community decides to change their monthly meeting from Tuesdays to Thursdays. While many are open to adopting this new idea, others are concerned that attendance will decrease due to other community functions that occur on the same night. When the support group facilitator asked for input, Carl was unwilling to make the change immediately, but would rather wait and see to find out what others say and if they make the change. Carl would most likely be open to this change once others agree to make the date change for the monthly meeting. The Diffusion of Innovations Theory characterizes adopters who accept change at different rates. When reflecting on the Diffusion of Innovations Theory, what rate of change does Carl represent based on his response to the proposed change?
