What is an example of a normative behavior?

  1. Baking a cake

  2. Dominating a conversation

  3. Drawing in public

  4. Being polite

The correct answer is: Being polite

Normative behavior refers to actions that are considered socially acceptable and conform to the norms of a particular society or culture. Baking a cake could be seen as a skillful task, but it does not necessarily align with social norms. Dominating a conversation may be seen as rude or disruptive, and drawing in public could be considered inappropriate in certain situations. Being polite, on the other hand, is often viewed as a normative behavior as it reflects manners and respect towards others.
