Collective Behavior

Question 13 • CR04258 Sociology

Which of the following is an example of the value-added theory?

Answer
A
the 1992 L.A. riots
B
a building on fire
C
receiving an unexpected gift
D
buying movie tickets

Explanation

The value-added theory explains how several conditions build up and combine to produce collective behavior, such as a riot. The 1992 L.A. riots are an example because they involved social conditions and tensions that contributed to a large-scale group response. Receiving an unexpected gift, a building on fire, and buying movie tickets do not, by themselves, illustrate this theory.
