Question: What explains deviance as a learned behavior? Control theory, labeling theory, cultural transmission theory, or none of the above?
Asked by davion
Cultural Transmission Theory. This theory posits that deviant behavior is learned through imitation, observation, and instruction from peers, family, and society. It suggests that people learn to be deviant by seeing others engage in deviant behavior and being rewarded for it. Deviant behavior is seen as a way of gaining attention, power, respect, or other social rewards.
