Questions: Emile Durkheim believed that known as the extent to which people feel connected to their social groups, is a key factor in social life. roles status social integration self-fulfilling prophecy

The answer is social integration.

Roles refer to the expected behaviors and responsibilities associated with a particular social position. While important in social life, they do not directly address the extent to which people feel connected to their social groups.

Status refers to the social position or rank of a person within a group or society. It is more about the hierarchical standing rather than the feeling of connectedness to social groups.

Social integration is the extent to which individuals feel connected and united with their social groups. Emile Durkheim emphasized the importance of social integration in maintaining social order and cohesion. He believed that a high level of social integration helps prevent feelings of isolation and anomie, which can lead to social instability.

A self-fulfilling prophecy is a belief or expectation that influences actions in a way that causes the belief to come true. This concept is more related to individual behavior and perception rather than the collective feeling of connectedness within social groups.
