Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Interactionist perspectives on deviance emphasize that deviance is not an inherent quality of an act or behavior, but rather is constructed through social interactions and interpretations. This means that what is considered deviant may vary across different groups and societies (option A), and that individuals may engage in reflexive processes of redefining what behaviors are considered acceptable or not (option C). Therefore, the interactionist perspective combines both the idea of relativism (option A) and constructionism (option C).
