Transcript text: are rewards given for following the norms.
Solution
The answer is Positive Sanctions: rewards given for following the norms.
Explanation for each option:
Negative Sanctions: These are penalties or punishments given for violating norms, not rewards. Therefore, this option is incorrect.
Positive Sanctions: These are rewards or positive reinforcement given to individuals for conforming to norms or exhibiting desired behavior. This is the correct answer.
Formal Sanctions: These are official rewards or punishments given by an organization or institution. While they can be positive, they are not exclusively rewards for following norms, as they can also be negative. Thus, this option is not the best fit.
Benefit Sanctions: This term is not commonly used in the context of sociology or social norms. It might refer to penalties related to benefits, such as welfare, but it does not pertain to rewards for following norms. Therefore, this option is incorrect.
