Question

place each personality type to the proper location in merton’s typology of deviance. ritualism innovation retreatism conformity institutionalized means accept reject cultural goals accept reject

Explanation:

To solve this, we use Merton’s typology of deviance:

• Conformity: Accepts both cultural goals (e.g., success, wealth) and institutionalized means (e.g., education, hard work) → Cultural Goals: Accept, Institutionalized Means: Accept (top - left cell).
• Innovation: Accepts cultural goals but rejects institutionalized means (e.g., using crime to get rich) → Cultural Goals: Accept, Institutionalized Means: Reject (top - right cell).
• Ritualism: Rejects cultural goals but accepts institutionalized means (e.g., following rules without striving for success) → Cultural Goals: Reject, Institutionalized Means: Accept (bottom - left cell).
• Retreatism: Rejects both cultural goals and institutionalized means (e.g., dropping out of society) → Cultural Goals: Reject, Institutionalized Means: Reject (bottom - right cell).

Answer:

• Top - left (Cultural Goals: Accept, Institutionalized Means: Accept): conformity
• Top - right (Cultural Goals: Accept, Institutionalized Means: Reject): innovation
• Bottom - left (Cultural Goals: Reject, Institutionalized Means: Accept): ritualism
• Bottom - right (Cultural Goals: Reject, Institutionalized Means: Reject): retreatism
