From this perspective, norms are not a kind of self-contained social object or fact, but rather an interplay of many things that we label as norms when we ‘take a snapshot’ of them at a particular instant. Further, this book pursues the hypothesis that considering the dynamic aspects of these phenomena sheds new light on them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe sort of issues that this perspective opens to exploration include:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOf what is this complex we call a \"social norm\" composed of?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow do new social norms emerge and what kind of circumstances might facilitate such an appearance?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow context-specific are the norms and patterns of normative behaviour that arise?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow do the cognitive and the social aspects of norms interact over time?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow do expectations, beliefs and individual rationality interact with social norm complexes to effect behaviour?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow does our social embeddedness relate to social constraint upon behaviour?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow might the socio-cognitive complexes that we call norms be usefully researched?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2014-06-13\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319053073\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-05308-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 205\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47674208419980,"sku":"9783319053073","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319053073.jpg?v=1776534261","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783319053073","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
