Answer:This is most consistent with INNOVATION form of adaptation in Merton’s theory of strain

Explanation:

Robert Merton focused on explaining why people tend to commit to deviant behavior within society and he opposed the other theorists who believed that it is derived by individual motives. Merton argued with these theorists by suggesting that some people feel that the only way to adjust in a normal way within society is to turn to criminal activities to alleviate their critical situation. He referred into anomie or strain theory , anomie which state that

due to confusion of what is happening in one's life and how hard they find it to achieve certain goals in a normal way they will resort to criminal activities.

The first way is to conform to society which means accept what ever is defined by society by pursuing success only in the ways acceptable within society such as education and earning money through a job.

The second reaction is innovation , this refers mostly to criminal act these are people who still believe they must pursue success just they innovate their own ways to pursue that success. They turn to deviant behavior because they want to achieve the success expected from them just that they use deviant innovations.

Such as the student above , he want to do well in school hence he innovate cheating as a way to help him achieve this goal.

Answer:

"industry vs. inferiority" stage

Explanation:

Erik Erikson proposed a theory about social and emotional development along people's lifespan. According to him, people go through different stages in life that are manifested as "crisis" where two different options present to the people and they create anxiety. Eventually, the person is inclined towards one of the two options available and solves the crisis and moves on to the next stage.

Erikson's fourth psychosocial crisis, is called "industry vs. inferiority" occurs between the ages of five and twelve.

During this stage, the child feels the need to win approval by demonstrating specific competencies that are valued by society and begin to develop a sense of pride in their accomplishments. When they are reinforced for their initiative they will feel industrious (competent) and confident in their ability to achieve goals. If they are not reinforced, they might feel inferior, doubting their own abilities and not reaching their full potential and can develop a feeling of inferiority.

Sammy is in third grade, so he must be around <u>9 years old,</u> he won the spelling bee and felt proud about it since <u>he demonstrated a specific competency </u>in his school (thus he felt competent), however, <u>when he couldn't complete his arithmetic assignment he felt incompetent </u>(this could case him feelings of inferiority or doubt of his own abilities).

We can see how Sammy is in the "industry vs. inferiority" stage where he's looking to be competent and developing a sense of pride in his accomplishments.
