Abstract

The theoretical literature on social norms is multifaceted and at times contradictory. Looking at existing reviews, we aimed to offer a more complete understanding of its current status. By investigating the conceptual frameworks and organizing elements used to compare social-norms theories, we identified four theoretical spaces of inquiry that were common across the reviews: what social norms are, what relationship exists between social norms and behavior, how social norms evolve, and what categories of actors must be considered in the study of social norms. We highlight areas of consensus and debate in the reviews around these four themes and discuss points of agreement and disagreement that uncover trajectories for future empirical and theoretical investigation.

The various conceptualizations and operationalizations in the terror management theory literature do not allow a clear distinction between when a primed concept is a social norm and when it is a personal norm.
“However, the various conceptualizations and operationalizations in the TMT literature do not allow a clear distinction between when a primed concept is a social norm and when it is a personal norm.”
From Do Salient Social Norms Moderate Mortality Salience Effects? A (Challenging) Meta-Analysis of Terror Management Studies (2023) · cites this paper as Legros & Cislaghi, 2020
The Results section (‘What pathways of normative influence are commonly identified in the literature?’; page unavailable) reports disagreement over whether internalized personal norms count as social norms. That supports the general difficulty of distinguishing them, but the passage does not address conceptualizations or operationalizations in terror management theory, or whether a primed concept can be classified as one or the other.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
