摘要

摘要：有证据表明，人们对不太讲卫生的人的惩罚力度会大于讲卫生的人，根据这一证据，我们对规范变化的一般理论进行了检验。该理论认为，这种不对称的惩罚会导致卫生规范变得越来越严格。我们认为，由于对个人行为的抱怨可能会导致抗议，因此规范不一定会因为这些抱怨而改变。我们以洗手作为目标行为，进行了一次在线实验（样本数 = 1,023 名瑞士成年人）。我们复制了惩罚强度的不对称性，结果发现，对个人太不卫生行为的投诉所引起的抗议强度接近于这些投诉的强度。我们的结论是，不对称的惩罚可能会推动规范的改变，而抗议则可能导致规范的稳定。

Can Asymmetric Punishment Explain Norm Changes?

Abstract: We test a general theory of norm changes based on evidence that people will punish less hygienic others more strongly than more hygienic others. The theory concludes that such asymmetric punishment would result in hygiene norms becoming ever stricter. We argue that, because complaints about one’s behavior might lead to protest, norms might not always change because of such complaints. We conducted an online experiment ( N = 1,023 Swiss adults) using handwashing as the target behavior. We replicated the asymmetry in punishment intensities and found that the intensity of protests against complaints about one’s too unhygienic behavior approached the intensity of these complaints. We conclude that, while asymmetric punishment may drive norm change, protests may lead to norm stability.

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
