Norms in the Wild: How to Diagnose, Measure, and Change Social Norms

Philosopher Christy Navi has developed her theory of social norm here, which was recently explained in her 2006 "social grammar" in her 2006 book. Bicchieri challenges many basic assumptions of social science. She considers social scientists to emphasize rational thinking too much about human behavior. Indeed, there are not many choices ... more

We do not provide social norms and (more specifically) wild norms, but brief explanations of social norms are provided. The nonrealistic explanation is not circular - the norm is not analyzed by the norm but is analyzed by the individual normative beliefs. Nevertheless, the concept of normative belief is not further explained. One possibility is that normative expectation is mere empirical expectation and is enhanced by the tendency to punish abnormal behavior (along the line of grammar criterion 2 (b ')). In another solution, normative expectations consist of various trends, such as psychological representation (representation of future behavior), reaction of words (promotion of praise or accusation), emotions (things that are surprising or annoying ) And the like. wait. In other words, it is like a reaction attitude. La Strausson, we use it everyday to regulate each other's behavior

Changes in social values ​​and norms also arise from changes in social values ​​and subgroup norms of social units. There are several kinds of this change.

For example, the existence of a new immigrant group with different values ​​and norms, or the relative size of a group with different values ​​and norms will affect the values ​​and norms of the group unit. Second, changes in the similarity and variance of values ​​between subgroups and norms can create changes in overall values ​​and norms. Meanwhile, cultural adaptation through group-to-group contacts and similar experiences reduces the identity of the subculture group, while on the other hand, an increase in separation and inconsistency in collective life experiences has led to their cultural identity Expanding.
