Question

An airplane has crashed on a deserted island off the coast of fiji. the survivors are forced to learn new behaviors in order to adapt to the situation and each other. this is an example of which theory?

Answer 1

This is the emergent norm theory at work. In this, new behaviors that are usually considered non-traditional or outside the bounds of common decency will take over in the case of some kind of crisis. These behaviors usually emerge as a rational response to the crisis and are an appropriate response to the event that took place.
