Question

Which of the following is NOT an element of the "reactivist" definition of deviance, as presented in this screencast? (In other words, the list below contains elements of the reactive definition, but one of them is not an element of it).

"outside the norms"

Answer 1

"Outside the norms" is not an element of the "reactivist" definition of deviance.

Step-by-step explanation:

The "normative" definition of deviance represents the simple behavior that is outside of the known norms. In simple words, deviance means deviating from something.

An individual will look into the social reaction, if he is not aware of what is deviant in the given social situation.

Reactivist defines deviance as acts, beliefs, or conditions that have negative responses from the people. In other words the deviance is simply defined as the behavior, beliefs, or conditions.
