peta (people for the ethical treatment of animals) is an animal rights group that has over 2 million members across the country and spends millions of dollars on advertising (print, broadcast and social media) in order to spread social awareness about their cause each year. which theory attempts to explain peta’s success?

frame alignment process

collective behavior theory

new social movement theory

resource mobilization theory

Explanation:

First Question (Airplane Crash Survivors)

The scenario involves survivors forming new norms/behaviors in an emergent situation. The "Emergent norm" theory explains how norms develop in collective behavior during unexpected events. Assembling is about gathering, Immersed socialization is not a core theory here, and Abrams is not relevant. So the correct option is Emergent norm.

Resource mobilization theory focuses on how social movements (like PETA) use resources (members, money for advertising) to achieve goals. Frame alignment is about aligning with public values, collective behavior is about spontaneous actions, and new social movement theory is about identity - based movements. PETA's use of resources (members, advertising budget) fits Resource mobilization theory.

Answer:

Emergent norm
