When defining abnormal behaviour, how is contextual deviance related?
Answer: Something may be considered abnormal if it is deviating from how we expect people to behave in the cultural or social environment we are in. This must be approached with caution, as departure from social or cultural context does not always equate to them having a mental/abnormal disorder. If a woman deviates from her expected social role of being housewife, and becomes a race car driver this is not abnormal.
