The __________ perspective is more pertinent for studying less serious kinds of deviance.

A) objective
B) constructionist
C) deterministic
D) psychological

The constructionist perspective emphasizes on how social definitions and labels are constructed and applied to certain behaviors or individuals to make them deviant. This perspective is more pertinent for studying less serious deviance because it focuses more on the social and cultural factors that influence the creation of deviant definitions and labels, rather than on individual psychological or biological factors that are more relevant for studying serious deviance. Objective perspective emphasizes on the measurable realities of deviance, deterministic perspective emphasizes on the inevitability of deviant behavior, and psychological perspective emphasizes on the internal psychological factors that contribute to deviance.
