Question

Adaptation I

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adaptation refers to conforming to both the cultural goals and the means to achieve those goals. This is the most common mode of adaptation according to Robert Merton's strain theory of deviance. Option A is incorrect as it is not a mode of adaptation. Option B is also incorrect as diffusion does not necessarily equate to commonality. Option C refers to rebellion, which is another mode of adaptation, but not the one described in this question.
