Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Relative deprivation occurs when individuals feel they are not receiving what they deserve or are entitled to. In this case, the children were deprived of playing with attractive toys, which may have created a sense of relative deprivation. When they later gained access to the toys, they may have felt entitled to play with them excessively, leading to destructive behavior. Therefore, choice B, relative deprivation, is the best fit for the blank in the question.
