Question

How do groups influence defiant behaviour?

Answer 1

Answer- Deviant behaviour is unacceptable in our society. The actions of deviant behaviour violates social norms and culture. Deviant behaviour is greatly influenced by the group of an individual. It is believed in our society that if a child spends time with deviant peers, the risk of engaging in similar activities will be increased. Adolescents are greatly influenced by the group members and adopt their behaviour. They become drug addicts in their group's influence and spoil their life. So, its very important for parents to focus on the peers and friends of their child in order to keep him/her away from bad and unacceptable behaviour.
