- Synopsis
- Through norm games, Horne (sociology, Washington State U. ) tested how aspects of social relations moderate undesirable behavior. After presenting theoretical perspectives on norms, she applies the relationship theory of norm enforcement, for which she found empirical evidence, to the regulation of sex, crime, human rights, and free markets. She even-handedly points out results not accounted for by this theory and that political correctness is the over-enforcement of norms. A glossary and methodological notes are appended.
