Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Value-added theory, proposed by Neil Smelser, identifies six determinants necessary for collective behavior: structural conduciveness, structural strain, growth and spread of a generalized belief, precipitating factors, mobilization for action, and the operation of social control. Structural mobility, which refers to the movements of individuals or groups within or between social strata in a society, is not listed as a component of this theory.
