Overview
Social norms are the pillars that sustain civilized societies. They may be defined as implicit or explicit rules or principles that are understood by members of a group and that guide and/or constrain behavior without the force of laws to engender proper conduct. Although compliance with social norms is adaptive, norm violations are omnipresent. People interrupt each other during conversations, show up late for appointments, commit fraud, and harass lower-power colleagues. In light of the critical regulatory function of social norms, it is important to understand the antecedents and consequences of norm abidance and norm violation.
In this special issue, we aim to bring together cutting-edge research from social psychology and adjacent fields to illuminate the social dynamics surrounding the development, preservation, honoring, and violation of social norms. The goal is to provide a comprehensive picture of the current understanding of the antecedents and consequences of norm abidance and norm violation. To accomplish this, the special issue provides a platform for a broad spectrum of approaches to social norms, including research at the intrapersonal, interpersonal, group, intergroup, and cultural levels of analysis.
We invite reports of rigorous empirical contributions at any of these levels of analysis. Particular interest goes out to research that illuminates how social norms arise, how they are maintained or changed, how they influence behavior, when they are obeyed, when they are broken, and what the downstream consequences are of norm abidance versus norm violation for individuals, groups, and society at large.
