The persuasion stage, the mental activity process that plays a major role is the affective or feeling field. The decision stage occurs when someone carries out activities that lead to determining whether to accept or reject the innovation. The implementation stage of the innovation decision process occurs when someone applies the innovation. The implementation stage takes place actively, both mentally and in action. confirmation stage, a person seeks reinforcement for the decision he has made and can withdraw his decision if information is obtained that contradicts the original
