List and summarize the Four Elements of the Social Bond

Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

The four elements of the social bond that results in conformity with prosocial behavior: attachment, commitment, involvement, and belief.
Attachment is the emotional component of conformity and refers to the emotional bonds existing between the individual and key social institutions like the family and the school. Attachment to conventional others is the foundation for all other social bonds because it leads us to feel valued, respected, and admired and to value the favorable judgments of those to whom we are attached.
Commitment is the rational component of conformity and refers to a lifestyle in which one has invested considerable time and energy in the pursuit of a lawful career. People who invest heavily in a lawful career have a valuable stake in conformity and are not likely to risk it by engaging in crime.
Involvement is a direct consequence of commitment; it is a part of an overall conventional pattern of existence. Involvement is a matter of time and energy constrictions placed on us by the demands of our lawful activities that reduce exposure to illegal opportunities. Conversely, noninvolvement in conventional activities increases the possibility of exposure to illegal activities—the devil finds work for idle hands.
Belief refers to the acceptance of the social norms regulating conduct. Persons lacking attachment, commitment, and involvement do not believe in conventional morality. A belief system empty of conventional morality is concerned only with narrow self-interest.
