In Merton's strain theory:
1. A person who rejects the goal but accepts the means participates in ritualism. This is when someone follows the rules and norms without aiming to achieve the societal goals.
2. Therefore, the statement "In Merton's strain theory, a person who rejects the goal and the means participates in ritualism" is False.
3. In summary, in Merton's strain theory, ritualism is associated with rejecting the goal while still adhering to the means.
