In referring to group behavior, what is a ‘norm’?
  1. The person that acts out the most
  2. An expected behavior
  3. The group’s behavior on a whole
  4. 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.
