an onlooker who rushes into a burning building despite the danger is demonstrating what type of behavior?\nmultiple choice\nconformist behavior\npositive deviance\noverconformity\ndeviance
Answer
Brief Explanations:
- Conformist behavior means following the norms and expectations of a group. But rushing into a burning building is not conforming to the usual self - preservation norm.
- Overconformity is excessive adherence to norms. This is not the case here as the action is against the norm of staying safe.
- Deviance can be negative (like crime) or positive. Positive deviance refers to behavior that goes against the norm in a beneficial way. Rushing into a burning building (while dangerous) could potentially save lives, which is a positive outcome.
- Regular deviance (without the 'positive' qualifier) usually implies negative behavior that violates social norms in a harmful way.
Answer:
positive deviance
