Question

The Theory of Differential Association states that ____.

Answer

The Theory of Differential Association states that deviance is a learned behavior that results from continuous exposure to others whom violate norms/laws.
Ex: elite athlete who grows up believing that cheating is wrong and to be a successful athlete one must train hard, avoid drugs and alcohol, and be respectful to opponents. Elite athlete now switches teams and now new team member believe that using steroids, partying, and heckling is the best way to be successful at a sport. Perhaps even show athlete how to be deviant by demonstrating how to take a particular drug, introducing athlete to steroid, etc. Overtime the athlete will learn from the new team members that these behaviors (partying, heckling, and drug use) are acceptable even though they were not before. Accepts these new deviant behaviors overtime
