Differential Association Theory
The Differential Association Theory is when someone is more likely to commit a deviant act if the group you are apart of encourages it. I see a lot of this with my brother and his friends who are in college. A few of my brothers friends got tattoos on their body. So they wanted everyone in their fraternity to get a tattoo. They started to encourage my brother to get a tattoo as well. My mother never wanted any of her kids to get tattoos on their body. He did and I believe the reason was that he wanted to be like his friends and not be the outsider so he committed the deviant act.

ReplyDeleteI am now curious about this story. I hope you have some more self-control than your brother, at least for your mother's sake.
