The Behavior of Information: A Reconsideration of Social Norms
Abstract
:1. Introduction
“…without a clean empirical identification of the relevant norms almost every behaviour can be rationalized as norm driven, thus rendering norms useless as an explanatory construct. This raises the question of whether social norms are indeed causal drivers of behaviour and can convincingly explain major cooperation-related regularities.”
2. (Re-)Defining the Problem of Norms
2.1. The Strangeness of Normality
“It is my feeling that the pragmatic aspects pertaining to the socio-psychological contexts in which norms emerge, exist, and disappear have been relatively neglected in recent and current philosophical discussions, possibly because of the aforementioned reason – that the great variety of contexts concerned precludes adequate systematization.”
2.2. Normalizing Norms
3. Norms as Information
3.1. Ontology of Social Information
3.2. Individual and Collective Experience
3.3. The Process of Belief
- Believed to be true from prior experience and evaluation (i.e., a “belief that…”);
- Believed should be true based on all other available information (i.e., a “belief in…”).
4. Social Norms, Normativity, and Institutions
4.1. Norm and Collective Expectations
4.2. Collective and Normative Expectations
4.3. Normative Expectations and Curation of Information
5. Institutions and the Curation of Social Information
5.1. Curation and Instrumental Information
5.2. Social Information, Risk, and Efficiency
6. Discussion
