Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Deviance refers to any behavior that goes against the norms or expectations of a particular society or group. Standing up and singing during a chemistry exam would be considered deviant behavior as it goes against the norms and rules of typical exam behavior. Serving alcohol at a dinner party, travelling slightly over the speed limit, and sharing hopes and dreams with friends are not necessarily deviant behaviors.
