Answer:
The amount of contact a person has with others who encourage or discourage conventional behavior.
Explanation:
According to association theory, people will most likely conform to a certain action if those people associate with another people in the social groups who are promoting that behavior.
For example,
If a student is hanging out constantly with other students who workouts in their free time, that students have higher likelihood to associate themselves with their group and follow their workout regiment.
This phenomenon also occurred to the student who constantly hanging out with students who vandalize the community. Most of the time, that student will be encouraged to join in, to the point where they might disregard the contradicting advice that their parents given to them.
I think the correct answer would be the third option. The gestalt principle of proximity is the tendency to perceive objects that are close to each other as part of the same grouping. It states that if shapes are close to each other, then you would see them as groups no matter if the sizes and shapes are different from each other as long as they are close to one another. This principle of proximity is one of Gestalts principle which is focused on how every stimulus would be perceived in the most simple form. It is also called as the Law of Simplicity or the Law of Pragnanz. It is based on the principle that the whole has a greater value than its parts.
The correct answer is B. Gatekeeping
Explanation:
Gatekeeping refers to the process in which information is summarized, filtered or reduced in a way is understood by a general audience usually because the information is published for the general public. This occurs in mass media as editors, reporters and almost all agents involved cannot include all the information and therefore need to decide on which information will be included and which would be excluded. This occurs in the case presented as all the media sources created a simplified version that can be understood by the general public rather than all the information and statistical data that would be too much to process for the public and too difficult for those without an academical background. Therefore in this case gatekeeping is occurring as information is reduced because it was going to be published for a broad audience.
