In referring to group behavior, what is a ‘norm’?

The person that acts out the most
An expected behavior
The group’s behavior on a whole
An unexpected behavior

Explanation

Answer - B - A ‘norm’ is expected behavior that is adhered to by members of the group. Norms are society’s definition of how we “should” behave. These norms differ from culture to culture and also from group to group within each culture.

This isn't to say norms shouldn't be questioned, but the counselor can use norms as a contextual frame for guidance.
