Abstract
Norm multiplicity, defined as co-existence of incompatible normative views in a population, is a wide-spread phenomenon that can have large societal consequences. In this review, we synthesize current theoretical perspective on norm multiplicity, why it may persist for long periods of time, and what effects it can have on behavior and society. Next, we discuss recently developed experimental tasks that were designed to quantify and measure norm multiplicity. The results of these measurements suggest that people naturally think in terms of multiple normative views, that multiplicity is ubiquitous, and that it has direct and measurable impact on behavior.
