Abstract In this paper, I outline and defend the view that variations in compliance levels with one same norm represent different norms about following . support of claim, first argue classic game-theoretic accounts, which define as Nash equilibria noncooperative games, typically consider separate norms. After that, suggest a more fine-grained, distinction accounts for degrees show how to incor...

This paper presents standardized norms of child development in Shiraz (Iran). A birth cohort of317 randomly selected neonates born at the 14 maternity clinics of Shiraz during 2 random consecutive weeks in 1996 were followed at homes for 2 years at 12 designed occasions and their development examined by 2 trained public health officers and a community medicine expert. In gross-motor and per...

OBJECTIVE Perceived descriptive drinking norms often differ from actual norms and are positively related to personal consumption. However, it is not clear how normative perceptions vary with specificity of the reference group. Are drinking norms more accurate and more closely related to drinking behavior as reference group specificity increases? Do these relationships vary as a function of part...

In a pandemic situation, with climate change around the world, studies analyzing changes in travel patterns are welcome. This study combines three theories to propose model on pro-environmental behavior intentions, namely, theory of planned behavior, value–belief–norm and habit theory. aims examine role social norms, personal norms strength explain intentions. The authors collected 316 usable q...

iii ABSTRACT Concern about privacy is an important consideration for users of information and communication technologies (ICT), particularly when using computer-mediated communication (CMC), i.e. Internet usage. Several researchers have studied privacy issues by taking into account the views of users to include individuals, organisations, privacy policy makers, governments and trust organisatio...

This chapter uses a simulation model to generate predictions about the effects of gerrymandering institutions on four different measures of voter welfare, with interactions for partisan tides and party polarization. Four representation norms are defined: policy median, compositional, personal, and discursive. The simulation generates three major predictions with respect to these norms: (a) bipa...

In this paper, we introduce the notion of an action $Y_X$as a generalization of the notion of a module,and the notion of a norm $vt: Y_Xto F$, where $F$ is a field and $vartriangle(xy)vartriangle(y') =$ $ vartriangle(y)vartriangle(xy')$ as well as the notion of fuzzy norm, where $vt: Y_Xto [0, 1]subseteq {bf R}$, with $bf R$  the set of all real numbers. A great many standard mappings on algebr...

We define social reciprocity as the act of demonstrating one’s disapproval, at some personal cost, for the violation of widely-held norms (e.g., don’t free ride). Social reciprocity differs from standard notions of reciprocity because social reciprocators intervene whenever a norm is violated and do not condition intervention on potential future payoffs, revenge, or altruism. Instead, we posit ...
