Practice questions

1 of 16Practice questions for this set
A study of an after-school program examined a cultural norm regarding participation. The program served middle-school students from two nearby neighborhoods with different demographic profiles: Neighborhood 1 had higher residential stability; Neighborhood 2 had higher recent mobility. Staff observed a norm in Neighborhood 1 groups that students should wait to be called on before speaking, while Neighborhood 2 groups more often used overlapping speech and volunteered answers without being prompted. When the program enforced a strict "raise your hand" rule, Neighborhood 1 students reported greater fairness, but Neighborhood 2 students reported lower belonging and participated less over time. How does the described cultural element affect social dynamics?
