Abstract The paper defends an account of the context-sensitivity norms that draws on resources counterfactual conditionals. combines two assumptions: assumption permission is rule-abiding performance in some contextually relevant situations; and situations are picked out by mechanism selects possible worlds for evaluation explains non-monotonicity permissions solves a puzzle, raised Timothy Wil...

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...

background: citizenship education is increasingly considered as an important strategy to empower youths in taking responsibilities and playing their individual and social roles, and to protect them against psychosocial pathologies. the purpose of the present descriptive study was to investigate students’ levels of knowledge,  their intention, subjective norms, and attitudes toward the character...

Believability requires video game characters to consider their actions within the context of social norms. Social norms involve a broad range of behavioral defaults, obligations, and injunctions unrelated to strictly causal reasoning. Defeasible reasoning involves rationally compelling but deductively invalid arguments, such as reasoning with rules that allow exceptions. This paper investigates...

The behaviour of deliberative agents is often guided by a plan library designed to achieve goals given certain environmental conditions. Plans in these plan libraries are designed to achieve individual goals, and cannot possibly account for all possible variations of restrictions in the societies within which these agents must operate. These restrictions, captured through norms, include obligat...

  We consider the two well knownminimax and minisum single facility location problems in the plane which has been divided into two regions, and by a straight line. The two regions are measured by various norms . We focus on three special cases in which the regions and are measured by and norms, and block norms, two distinct block norms. Based on the properties of block norms then we use linear ...

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...

BACKGROUND Although social norms are thought to play an important role in couples' reproductive decisions, only limited theoretical or empirical guidance exists on how the underlying process works. Using the theory of normative social behavior (TNSB), through a mixed-method design, we investigated the role played by injunctive norms and interpersonal discussion in the relationship between descr...

Dear Participant, We are very pleased to welcome you at the GATE research institute. This workshop aims at developing scientific discussions about Social Norms and Moral Norms. The objective is to better understand when people are more, or less, likely to act honestly and follow the moral course of action and norms instead of serving their strict self-interest at the others' expense. We are ext...
