What does VBBN stand for?

• A. Values, Beliefs, Behaviors, and Networks
• B. Values, Beliefs, Behaviors, and Norms
• C. Values, Beliefs, Behaviors, and Roles
• D. Values, Beliefs, Behaviors, and Standards

Answer: (B)

VBBN captures how values and beliefs shape behavior within a group, with norms describing the expected conduct that guides everyday interactions. Norms are the shared unwritten rules about what is considered acceptable behavior, which fits the acronym’s last element. Networks refer to connections between people, roles are the functions people fill, and standards are formal criteria—none of these complete the acronym in the same way. So the expansion ends with Norms.
