Multiple choice
1) which of the following is a theory of collective behavior?
A) world systems theory
B) value-added perspective
C) evolutionary theory
D) relative deprivation
Ans: B
The value-added perspective, developed by neil smelser, is a key theory of collective
behavior. It outlines six conditions that must be met for collective behavior to occur, such
as structural conduciveness and a precipitating factor. World systems theory and
evolutionary theory relate to global inequality and social change, respectively—not
collective behavior. Relative deprivation is more of a contributing factor than a full
theory in this context.
2) according the emergent-norm perspective, the definition of which behaviors are
appropriate comes from
A) the leadership.
B) general societal norms.
C) pre-established rules and regulations. D) the crowd.
Ans: D
The emergent-norm perspective argues that people in crowds develop new norms that
guide their behavior—emerging from the crowd itself, rather than from societal rules or
leadership. This explains how people may act in ways they usually wouldn't when alone.
, 3) according to sociologist neil smelser's value-added model, what actually triggers
collective behavior?
A) structural conduciveness b) mobilization for action c) a precipitating factor
D) structural strain
Ans: C
According to smelser’s value-added model, a precipitating factor (such as a dramatic
event or crisis) is the immediate trigger for collective behavior. Other elements like
structural strain or conduciveness set the stage, but it is the precipitating factor that
ignites action.
4) what sociologist outlined six important determinants of collective behavior in his
valued- added model?
A) neil smelser
B) ralph turner
C) clark mcphail
D) émile durkheim
Ans: A
Neil smelser is the sociologist who formulated the value-added theory of collective
behavior, listing six determinants necessary for collective action, including structural
strain, generalized belief, and a precipitating factor.
5) what perspective of collective behavior seeks to examine how people come together to
undertake collective action?
A) emergent-norm perspective
B) value-added perspective
C) assembling perspective
D) evolutionary perspective
