Control theory states that we

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

To analyze the statement, we should evaluate what control theory claims about social behavior and conformity.
Option 1: 'are bonded to members of our subculture, and if they engage in deviant behavior, we use them as role models and act in the same manner.' This option confuses general social control theory with peer-subculture dynamics; while subcultural bonds can influence behavior, control theory stresses conformity through attachments, commitments, involvements, and beliefs across broader social ties rather than primarily using deviant peers as role models. The wording also suggests a reactive pattern based on deviance, which is not the core framing of control theory.
Option 2: 'are bonded to our family members, friends, and peers in a way that leads us to follow the mores and folkways of our society.' This aligns with control theory’s central idea: social bonds to family, friends, and other conventional institutions constrain behavior and promote conformity to societal norms (mores and folkways). The emphasis on attachments and social bonds as a mechanism for following norms captures the theory accurately.
Option 3: 'are "convinced" to act in a law-abiding manner because of the "control" that law enforcement agencies have over our lives.' This describes a perspective closer to a law-enforcement or deterrence view rather than control theory. Control theory emphasizes informal social controls through bonds, not formal police power or coercion as the primary mechanism.
Option 4: 'act in a conforming manner because of a fear of individuality.' This framing suggests conformity driven by fear of being unique or deviating, which is not a standard articulation of control theory. Control theory emphasizes bonds and social integration that promote conformity to norms, not fear of individuality per se.
In summary, the options contrast different mechanisms of social behavior. The reasoning behind option 2 correctly reflects control theory by highlighting how attachments to family, friends, and peers foster conformity to societal norms. The other choices either misplace the mechanism (peer role modeling for deviance), emphasize formal enforcement over informal bonds, or rely on an aversive psychology (fear of individuality) that does not constitute the classic account of control theory.
