Abstract

Social norms are the glue that hold society together, yet our knowledge of them remains heavily intellectually siloed. This article provides an interdisciplinary review of the emerging field of norm dynamics by integrating research across the social sciences through a cultural-evolutionary lens. After reviewing key distinctions in theory and method, we discuss research on norm psychology—the neural and cognitive underpinnings of social norm learning and acquisition. We then overview how norms emerge and spread through intergenerational transmission, social networks, and group-level ecological and historical factors. Next, we discuss multilevel factors that lead norms to persist, change, or erode over time. We also consider cultural mismatches that can arise when a changing environment leads once-beneficial norms to become maladaptive. Finally, we discuss potential future research directions and the implications of norm dynamics for theory and policy.Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Psychology, Volume 75 is January 2024.

规范动力学:社会规范出现、持续和改变的跨学科视角

社会规范是将社会凝聚在一起的粘合剂，然而我们对它们的认识在很大程度上仍然是孤立的。本文通过文化进化的视角，通过整合社会科学的研究，对规范动力学这一新兴领域进行了跨学科的回顾。在回顾了理论和方法的主要区别之后，我们讨论了规范心理学的研究-社会规范学习和习得的神经和认知基础。然后，我们概述了规范是如何通过代际传递、社会网络以及群体层面的生态和历史因素产生和传播的。接下来，我们将讨论导致规范随时间持续、变化或侵蚀的多层次因素。我们还考虑了当环境变化导致曾经有益的规范变得不适应时可能出现的文化不匹配。最后，我们讨论了规范动力学的未来研究方向以及理论和政策意义。预计《心理学年度评论》第75卷的最终在线出版日期是2024年1月。修订后的估计数请参阅http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates。
