▼ Social norms have powerful impacts on the way that members of different
social groups think and behave. Despite the fact that partisanship is perhaps the most important cleavage in the American political context, little work has been done to study the existence or impact of
social norms within partisan groups. This dissertation uses in-depth interviews, original surveys, experiments, and various computational methods to make three main arguments. First, that Republicans and Democrats hold different
social norms. Specifically, I show that Democrats tend to evaluate one another based on how well they care for marginalized groups like racial minorities, women, and the poor. Republicans tend to evaluate one another based on how closely they adhere to conservative principles, how obedient they are to Christian moral tenets, and how they respect the country and its symbols. Second, that presidential candidates use those
norms to improve their own standing and to harm the standing of their opponents. Third, that candidates who break these
social norms are punished electorally by their co-partisans.

An examination of descriptive and injunctive norms as antecedents to psychological reactance.

▼ Designing messages that successfully produce behavior change is a central objective for many health communication scholars. However, many health campaigns fail to effectively produce desired behavioral behavior, and occasionally boomerang effects can result in audience members adopting behaviors opposite of the recommended action. Psychological reactance theory – which posits that individuals cherish their personal freedoms, and react negatively when their freedom is threatened – provides a theoretical account for why persuasive messages can fail. The current study extends the literature on psychological reactance theory in two primary ways. First, by examining the role of descriptive and injunctive
norms messages as antecedents to freedom threat and reactance. Second, by examining message elaboration as an antecedent and moderator of the reactance process. In Study 1, college students (N = 405) were randomly assigned to view print ads using a 3 (
norms message: descriptive norm vs. injunctive norm vs. control) X 2 (forceful language: high vs. low) X 2 (topic: alcohol consumption, regular exercise) between subjects posttest only design. In Study 2, adult Internet users (N = 655) were randomly assigned to view print ads using a 2 (descriptive norm: present vs. absent) X 2 (injunctive norm: present vs. absent) X 2 (forceful language: high vs. low) X 2 (topic: organ donation, energy conservation) between-subjects posttest only design posttest only design.
Four general conclusions are drawn from this investigation. First, descriptive and injunctive
norms messages did not affect perceived descriptive or injunctive
norms across all four topics and two populations. In other words, the
norms message inductions consistently failed. This result is likely due to a confluence of factors, including the fact that the current studies made comparisons between two
norms message frames, as well as a no-norm control message (rather than maximizing the variance with an artificially low and high norm condition as is more typical in the literature), the use of quite distal referent groups in the messages (“University students” and “Americans”), as well as the relatively short (~50 words) nature of the print messages. Second, despite following the two-step approach to modeling reactance in the current studies, modification indices for three of the four models suggested the addition of a direct path from an exogenous variable to state reactance. Given the lack of uniformity in the reactance literature in regards to how reactance is modeled vis-à-vi freedom threat, the current study holds implications for scholars interested in the operationalization of reactance. Third, the findings of the current investigation also have theoretical implications for theories of message processing such as the elaboration likelihood model. Across all four topics, greater message elaboration was associated with either diminished freedom threat (alcohol, organ donation) or diminished reactance (exercise, energy conservation), suggesting that reactance reduction…

A Step Before the First Step? Social Norms and Admitting Implicit Racial Prejudice.

Conventional wisdom suggests people must be willing to admit a problem exists before they can hope to solve it. This may be especially true in the case of implicit prejudice. Unlike explicit prejudice, which is conscious and deliberate, implicit prejudice is often unconscious and counter to what people intend. In addition, implicit prejudice is undesirable and leads people to respond defensively when told they have such prejudice. In this dissertation, I investigated whether social norms that encourage people to admit prejudice and exert effort to control it can be used to increase people’s willingness to admit their own implicit prejudice. In three experiments, participants watched (Experiments 1 and 2) or read about (Experiment 3) other people’s reactions to implicit attitude feedback. Then, participants were told they have an implicit bias favoring Whites over Blacks and responded to questions assessing defensiveness and willingness to admit prejudice. Experiments 1 and 2 found that seeing others acknowledge prejudice decreased people’s defensiveness to feedback about their own implicit attitudes and increased willingness to admit personal prejudice. Experiment 3 manipulated social norms with summary information about a referent group and found that while learning most other people deny prejudice caused participants to believe denying was more normal, overall, the manipulation had little influence on defensiveness or willingness to admit prejudice. Together, these experiments suggest that social norms can influence people’s willingness to admit personally prejudiced implicit attitudes, but to be effective, the example set by others must be vivid.

▼ We create pure strategy versions of Robert Axelrod's well known
norms and metanorms games. To analyze the evolutionary behaviour of these games, we utilize replicator dynamics complemented with agent based model simulations. Our findings show that the only evolutionarily stable strategy in the
norms game is one in which a player defects and is lenient. The metanorms game, however, has two evolutionarily stable strategies. The first is a repeat from the
norms game, that is, a player defects and is always lenient. The other is one in which a player follows the norm and punishes those who are lenient and those who defect. We also introduce the concept of providing an incentive for players to play a certain strategy in our controlled
norms game. This particular game has two evolutionarily stable strategies. In the first, a player follows the norm, while in the second, a player does not. We wish to transition the population of players from a state in which the majority of players initially do not follow the norm to one in which the majority of players do. During this transition, we look to minimize the total use of our incentive. We also utilize agent based model simulations to explore the effect of imposing simple network connections and heterogeneity onto a population of agents playing these games.

▼ In aiming to graduate from Least Developed Countries status by 2020, and in joining the ASEAN Economic Community in 2015, the Government of Laos has been seeking to sustain a high rate of economic growth and to develop a skilled and proficient labour force. As such, economic development has been a focus of the government and developing skilled and proficient labour is important. Education, especially tertiary education, has also been a priority of the Government of Laos. However, the gender gap still exists in every education level with high fees just one barrier for women to get into higher education. Promoting women’s access to tertiary education is important for closing the gender gap and improving women’s livelihoods, as well as contributing to the country’s economic development.
The research explores the main barriers to women’s access to tertiary education, concentrating on family characteristics, individual motivations and
social norms. Utilising a feminist lens, qualitative research has been undertaken through semi-structured interviews. Thirty interviews were conducted, including women who were current students in tertiary education institutions and women who were not in any tertiary education institution. Information regarding tertiary education policies and implementation of these policies was also gathered from key information interviews and secondary information.
The research found that family financial status is the main barrier for women to continue their education in higher education. When the family budget is limited, most parents prioritise the education of males. Furthermore, the perception that women have less opportunity to gain a job than men persists widely – and acts as a disincentive for women to access tertiary education.

▼ International society is fraught with utopian cleavages. They arise from logical contradictions between the multiple, contingently related utopian frameworks agents draw upon to navigate their shared socio-cultural environment. They are essentially conflicts over the ideal purposes and organization of international society itself that revolve around how some shared socio-cultural referent fits (or does not fit) within it. Thus, in a utopian cleavage it is the very things agents' share that allow them to differentiate themselves from one another. One of the primary mediums through which this differentiation occurs is
norms. By standardizing and defining appropriate behavior for agents of a particular identity,
norms provide a behavioral litmus test for agents to recognize those who share their utopian vision. However, this means that
norms simultaneously provide agents with a way to differentiate those who do not share their utopian vision and therefore pose a potential threat to its realization. In order to examine utopian cleavages in international society and the role
norms play in their formation, we must understand international society as multidimensional in nature. This means society is simultaneously comprised of relationships of similarity, difference, consensus, conflict, structural complements, and structural contradictions. It also entails recognizing both sets of relationships are equally socio-cultural in nature. By combing these two propositions we can capture the interplay between the integrated and conflictual aspects of society, from which utopian cleavages emerge. To illustrate the multidimensionality of international society, the existence of utopian cleavages, and role
norms play in their formation, this project examines the antithetical policies, practice, and attitudes surrounding the shared referent of homosexuality in contemporary international society, and the contradictory utopian frameworks agents draw upon to justify them.

▼ Drawing on in-depth interviews, I analyze how teen fathers talk about their experiences of teen fatherhood, how they actively construct their identities as “good dads” but also as “good men”. Specifically, I explore the ways in which teen fathers utilize
norms of masculinity as resource for making sense of their experiences as teen fathers. Notions of youth, masculinity, and
social class, can all offer competing concerns that these men must negotiate if they are to successfully present an identity, a self that is both “good” and acceptable. Hence, for the men in this study, masculinity,
social class, and youth serve as powerful resources for making sense of their identities and their responsibilities as teen fathers; but, these same resources can also create additional problems which also require further negotiation. Drawing on stereotypical
norms of masculinity and youth, for example, can work to successfully negotiate responsibility while also signifying themselves as men; however, these same discourses can also work to stigmatize them as the wrong kind of men. In short, teen fathers are not only negotiating their identities and responsibilities as young dads, they are also negotiating their identities as men.

▼ The following study presents a novel investigation of the moderating role of social norms in the suppression of stereotype-related thoughts and the subsequent rebound effect, hypothesizing that suppressing stereotyping thoughts regarding certain social groups leads to a greater rebound effect than suppressing stereotyping thoughts about other social groups. This experiment showed no evidence that social norms prescribing the way one should think about prejudice against a certain social group moderates the rebound effect. Participants in the suppression condition experienced the rebound effect, however the rebound effect was not significantly different across target social groups. While my results replicate past research in demonstrating the rebound effect across conditions, the results did not support my hypothesis as I did not find a significant difference in ease of thought suppression between social groups.

▼ The health conditions associated with overweight and obesity pose a considerable financial burden on the US healthcare system, and large portion sizes are partly responsible for the rise in the prevalence of overweight. Portion size legislation and sugar taxes have repeatedly been overturned, and public health efforts often utilize ineffective means of conveying their message, such as fat shaming.
Social norms, when portrayed correctly, are strong stimulators of behavior. They consist of descriptive and injunctive
norms. Descriptive
norms tell us what others are actually doing, whereas injunctive
norms tell us what is approved or disapproved of in a given setting. The error frequently made by communicators using
social norms is to portray an undesirable behavior as unfortunately widespread, which pulls the target???s behavior in two opposing directions. The injunctive norm detracts from the behavior, but the descriptive norm increases it by portraying the behavior as common. This study aimed to reduce portion sizes of M&Ms among students by having them view a public service announcement (PSA) that contained agreeing descriptive and injunctive
norms about portion size practices, compared with students who viewed a PSA with disagreeing
norms. Contrary to my prediction, however, those who viewed the aligned
norms PSA ate nearly twice as much as those who viewed the misaligned
norms. The Deviance Regulation Theory can explain this result. It states that attempts to change a behavior should focus their appeals on those who deviate from the norm rather than those who comply with it.

▼ To increase earthquake preparation, it is beneficial to understand the effects of different types of information used in risk communications. This thesis adapts methods that have been used with other hazards or in hypothetical situations and applies them to increasing support for current earthquake-strengthening legislation in Wellington, New Zealand (NZ). Study 1 examined valence and numerical format framing. Expressing the number of buildings affected by the legislation as a negatively-valenced frequency was found to be most effective at increasing earthquake-related judgments¹. Study 2 examined descriptive and injunctive
norms and found that a range of
subject factors such as age and previous knowledge of the legislation influenced the effects of
norms. Study 3 used the same manipulation and included a sample from Palmerston North, where earthquake risk perceptions are lower. This study showed several clear norm effects, with the combination of both descriptive and injunctive
norms the most effective at increasing support for the earthquake legislation. All three studies showed that belief in the effectiveness of strengthening earthquake-prone buildings predicted support for the legislation and lower earthquake-risk tolerance, suggesting that this could be a key perception to target in communications. Overall, these studies suggest that certain messages are more effective at increasing support for the governmental legislation, but also that framing and
social norm effects on real-world issues interact with other variables such as age and knowledge which ought to be examined further to increase the usefulness of psychological research to risk communication.
¹ The results of this study have been accepted for publication as a peer-reviewed journal article: Vinnell, L. J., McClure, J., & Milfont, T. L. (in press). Do framing messages increase support for earthquake legislation? Disaster Prevention and Management, 26(1).

▼ Excessive internet use can have various consequences
such as low job performance, poor academic performance, and issues
in interpersonal relationships. Previous research in the area has
focused on treating this issue after it reaches the level of a
diagnosable addiction disorder. However, it is important to
understand whether excessive use can be discouraged and potentially
reduced before users develop an addiction disorder. Currently, one
of the most popular uses of the internet is
social media;
therefore, the current study specifically targeted excessive
social
media use. In an effort to discourage excessive
social media use,
two different message intervention approaches were implemented. A
behavioral feedback message addressed excessive use at the
individual level by providing information about the potential
consequences from their current amount of
social media use. A
social norms message provided general information about the average
adult’s
social media use. These interventions were compared to a
control message (no information about excessive use) as well as a
generic consequences message (general consequences one may
experience from excessive use). Using a multiple regression
analysis, the study found that those who read the behavioral
feedback message were more likely to report that they believed that
they spend too much time on
social media. In contrast, a second
multiple regression analysis found that those who read the
social
norms message were more likely to report that they intended to
reduce their
social media use in the future. In the domain of
social media, it seems that behavioral feedback has more of an
effect on attitudes, while
social norms has more of an effect on
intended future behavior. These findings do not indicate whether
one type of intervention is more favorable than the other; rather,
it seems that the two interventions may be working through
different mechanisms, such that one may result in attitude change
before behavior change, while the other may result in the
opposite.

▼ The purpose of this dissertation is to explore the influences of industry dynamic factors (e.g., peer selections) on a client’s subsequent decision to select the type of auditor (e.g., Big N versus non-Big N), following auditor turnover. More specifically, drawing on
social norms and
social learning theories, I develop testable implications and investigate whether and how industry dynamics have an incremental power in explaining auditor choice beyond traditional firm-specific variables documented in prior research. Using a large sample from years 1988 – 2012, I find that clients are more likely to imitate their industry peers’ prior selections to select the type of their succeeding auditors, consistent with the implications of
social learning theory. I also find that clients in industries with stronger industry
norms, as measured by a greater proportion of clients audited by Big N auditors in an industry, are more likely to select Big N auditors as their succeeding auditors, consistent with the implications of
social norms theory. To my best knowledge, this is the first study to explore the impact of
social dynamics measured at the industry level on auditor selection and provide large-sample evidence on the relations between industry dynamics and auditor selection at the firm level. Findings of this study provide insights into the dynamic process of auditor selection in which companies do not make auditor-selection decisions in isolation of one another as often posited in existing literature, contribute to the research on the determinants of auditor choice by incorporating industry dynamics into an agent-principal model, and provide a more comprehensive view of the phenomenon of auditor selection.

▼ This research explores the question: How did certain Kabul women de-identify from the
social and gender
norms of the larger
social structure in which they operate, while successfully negotiating opportunity structures for empowerment?
The data presented in this paper gives voice to several Kabul women who are among the few that tend to be held up as examples of how far Afghan women have come on the path to empowerment and equality. It argues that their experiences and accomplishments are anomalies among Afghan women, and attempts to uncover the reasons why these women were able to successfully fight considerable resistance, and overcome huge obstacles on the way to becoming successful, prominent, empowered women when to date, few women have been able to do so.

▼ Interpersonal confrontation has been heralded in the stereotyping and prejudice literature as a situationally flexible, personally empowering, and highly effective prejudice reduction approach (Czopp & Ashburn-Nardo, 2012; Mallett & Monteith, 2019b). Indeed, a number of experiments consistently show that confrontation (compared to ‘no confrontation’) reduces confrontees’ stereotyping and prejudice endorsement, even among high-prejudice confrontees who reject egalitarian values (e.g., Burns & Monteith, 2018; Chaney & Sanchez, 2018; Czopp et al., 2006). These experiments, however, have uniformly tested confrontation efficacy in
social settings where egalitarian
norms are strong. This is problematic because norm compliance pressure is theorized to be a key mechanism explaining how confrontation regulates prejudice expression (Czopp et al., 2006). The present research addresses this limitation by comparing
confrontation effectiveness across situations where prejudice expression is deemed socially acceptable and unacceptable. In Study 1, college students’ forecast how they would feel, think, and behave in response to being confronted. In Studies 2 and 3, college students’ biased responses were confronted and they reported their feelings, thoughts, and behavioral intentions, while their subsequent stereotyping behaviors were unobtrusively measured. A stark divide
between forecaster expectations and experiencer realities emerged. Study 1 analyses revealed that in situations where prejudice acceptability was high (vs. low and moderate), college student forecasters expected prejudice expression to be less offensive and, consequently, anticipated feeling less guilty for expressing prejudice and weaker motivation to self-correct. These same forecasters also anticipated that confrontation would make them feel angrier and expected to
express more dismissiveness and hostility. In Studies 2 and 3, however, self-corrective reactions to confrontation emerged regardless of prejudice acceptability level. College students confronted for expressing prejudice (vs. not confronted) rated their own stereotyping behaviors as more offensive. In turn, they reported feeling more guilt and a stronger desire to self-correct. Additionally, these students reduced their degree of behavioral stereotyping following the
confrontation. Taken together, these findings suggest that, despite forecaster intuitions, confrontation can be an effective prejudice reduction tool, even in situations where prejudice expression is widely considered socially acceptable. Theoretical and applied implications of this work are discussed, as well as directions for future research.

▼ Our choices can often be biased in systematic ways. In this thesis, we study the cognitive mechanisms driving two prominent choice biases: the endowment effect and the descriptive norm effect. The endowment effect, a tendency to assign higher value to something you own, is typically explained based on loss aversion. A finding that the endowment effect reverses for choices between undesirable options has been taken as evidence against loss aversion. We find that these reversals are driven by people’s expectations and only seem to occur when comparisons between the options are limited. We outline a model of loss aversion that can qualitatively and quantitatively account for these results. The descriptive norm effect, a bias towards popular options, is typically explained based on the fact that descriptive norms offer useful information as to which option is best. We show that descriptive norm effects occur even when the norm is entirely arbitrary and thus offers no useful information. Another prominent explanation of the descriptive norm effect, self categorization theory, can explain the impact of these arbitrary norms. However, this theory predicts that people will avoid conforming to descriptive norms from an outgroup. We find this not to be the case, with participants’ preferences shifting towards outgroup descriptive norms. We discuss how mechanisms from the broader choice bias literature could in principle explain our findings.

▼ This dissertation describes research which applies theory from the fields of communication and
social psychology to create and test persuasive messages aimed at increasing public engagement with recycling. Recycling is a pro-environmental behavior which is often costly on front end but provides distal benefits. Although people often acknowledge the necessity of this behavior, they do not always follow through due to the uncertainty and ambiguity resulting from distal benefits. Accordingly, various persuasion tactics such as
social norms have been utilized to motivate people to engage in socially desirable distal behavior, recycling. As an effort to increase the applicability of
social norms in the context of pro-environmental behaviors, this dissertation proposed a new message design strategy, an emotional
social norms message, by incorporating future-oriented discrete emotions, in particular, anticipated pride, into a standard
social norms message to demonstrate if emotions enhance norm-congruent behaviors. Specifically, the current study tested whether exposure to emotional descriptive
norms messages (EDNMs), which contain both descriptive
norms information and anticipated pride appeal, influences emotional, attitudinal, and behavioral outcomes relative to standard descriptive
norms messages (SDNMs), which contain only descriptive
norms information. Further, the current study examined the underlying mechanism and boundary condition of the emotional descriptive
norms messages (EDNM) processing with anticipation of emotional outcome as a mediator and behavioral privacy as a moderator in the relationship between exposure to EDNMs and behavioral intentions. An online experiment was conducted using a 2 (anticipated pride: presence vs. absence) x 2 (order of presentation) x 2 (behavioral privacy: private vs. public) pre- and post-test between-
subject design with a control group. The number of 280 participants, a nationally representative sample of the U.S., were recruited. The results showed that participants who viewed the EDNMs experienced greater anticipated pride than those who viewed the SDNMs. Further, anticipated pride mediated the effects of EDNMs on intention to recycle and intention to talk about recycling with their family such that EDNMs elicited greater anticipated pride, which led to greater intention to recycle and intention to talk compared to did SDNMs.

▼ The project, Revealing the Taboo: A Theatrical Investigation, is a study into theatre
that attempts to break down the barriers between open society and its regulatory
alternative, the area of taboos. Initial motivations for the project were drawn from my
experience as a playwright, exploring themes such as paedophilia and child abuse. My
previous work prompted the question, 'If taboos are revealed from a perspective that
attempts to challenge the social norm, how might that affect the sensitivities of an
audience?'
The exegesis (the theoretical component of the project) presents an extensive
exploration of the relationships taboos have with contemporary theatrical
presentation. Through the exegesis I establish a contemporary definition for taboo in
relation to the theatre, differentiating it from current trends such as Aleks Sierz's
In-Yer-Face' theatre. Set against the theatrical context, I also examine taboo as a current
social norm, incorporating both the sanctions and penalties attracted by those who
deviate from that norm. The exegesis supports the key focus of the project, the
examination and creation of theatre that reveals taboo behaviour from a challenging
perspective, in the process jeopardising the very concept of social norms. This style of
theatre questions the status of certain taboos by reducing the degree of deviance
associated with participation in taboo behaviour. The project identifies and presents a
genre, Theatre of Taboos, and the exegesis examines the construction and
effectiveness of this hypothesised genre. Three areas are particularly examined:
firstly, taboos and incorporation of taboos in the theatre; secondly, cultural
boundaries, limitations and restrictions — sanctions and penalties; and thirdly, the
construction and sensitivities of the contemporary theatrical audience.
The creative component of the project consists of a script presented through theatrical
performance, these complementing and giving life to the notions set out in the
theoretical investigation. The script, Ruled Lines, is an attempt to show a positive
perspective of a taboo relationship between a teacher and their student, revealing
taboos from a perspective that raises awareness of and challenges perceptions of what
might constitute socially-condoned behaviour.

▼ Recent philosophical research on normativity has clarified the nature and dynamics of
social norms.
Social norms are distinguished from legal and moral
norms on the basis of their scope, their grounds, their characteristic forms of accountability, or some combination of these features. Because of their distinct character,
social norms can reinforce practical prescriptions, prohibitions, and permissions provided to particular actors by legal or moral
norms. They also can conflict drastically with those prescriptions, prohibitions, and permissions – resulting in serious practical dilemmas.
The identification of normative principles capable of resolving practical dilemmas arising from conflicts between different kinds of
norms is a major aim of contemporary moral and political philosophy. This dissertation contributes to this aim by establishing the significance of conflicts between
social norms and legal or moral
norms during mass atrocities and liberalizing political transitions. The dissertation argues that
social norms, and changes in
social norms, are critical components of accurate descriptions and responsible evaluations – both legal and moral – of the actions of individuals and groups before, during, and after mass atrocities. The dissertation contends, further, that distinct principles of justice may apply to transitional efforts by non-state actors to transform
social norms in societies recovering from large-scale crimes.
Three principal results follow from this dissertation’s effort to integrate the conceptual framework of
social norms into the study of mass atrocity. First, the dissertation clarifies and extends the historiographical thesis of norm transformation, according to which participation by ordinary individuals in mass atrocities is at least partially explained by transformations in basic
norms that structure
social and political life. Second, the dissertation identifies a novel basis on which to apportion legal and moral accountability for mass atrocities between individuals and groups or collectivities – i.e. on the basis of the specific contributions of
social norms. Third, the dissertation provides new support for the disputed claim that distinct principles of justice apply to the various actors involved in liberalizing political transitions.

▼ There is a dearth of literature examining how the cohesiveness of the team may be connected to individual athlete participation in youth sport settings. Although results from studies conducted with adult athletes (Carron, Widmeyer, & Brawley, 1988; Prapavessis & Carron, 1997a; Spink, 1995) suggest a positive link between perceptions of team cohesion and individual participation, this relationship has not been established with adolescent athletes. The purposes of the studies in this dissertation were: (1) to examine the relationship between cohesion and participation in a youth sport sample; (2) to examine if task cohesion moderated the relationship between perceptions of teammates’ effort levels (descriptive
norms) and a participation-related outcome (effort); (3) to experimentally test the combined influence of cohesion and descriptive
norms on individual self-reported effort; and (4) to explore the plausibility of teammate support as one possible mediator of the cohesion-participation relationship. A multivariate approach was used in Study 1 to both establish the initial relationship between cohesion and individual participation as well as inform subsequent studies in this dissertation by identifying which specific cohesion factors (task,
social) and participation-related outcomes (effort, attendance, intention to return to the team) were most strongly related. Multivariate results revealed that task cohesion was associated with two participation outcomes – effort and intention to return to the team. Examining if perceptions of cohesion would qualify the link between perceptions about how hard teammates were working and individual athletes’ self-reported effort levels was the purpose of Study 2. Both constructs emerged as positive, significant correlates of effort. As a follow up, a between-subjects experimental design with vignettes was used in Study 3 to test the combined effects of cohesion and descriptive
norms about teammate effort on individual self-reported effort levels. Building upon Study 2’s correlational findings, cohesion and descriptive
norms both had an independent, positive influence on how hard players rated that they would work. The purpose of Study 4 was to consider one possible reason why team cohesion may be associated with individual participation -
social support. To examine the proposition that
social support may mediate the relationship between cohesion and participation, a prospective design was used in Study 4 to test the links between early-season cohesion, late-season perceptions of
social support, and two participation-related outcomes (effort, intention to return to the team in the future). Results supported the plausibility of
social support as a partial mediator for both outcomes. Taken together, these four studies provided initial evidence for the potential link between team cohesion and individual participation in youth sport. Additionally, the emergence of two other team-related constructs, descriptive
norms and
social support, suggests that these forms of teammate…

Smoking Cessation Among Emerging Adults: Integrating and Expanding on Social Norms as Barriers and Facilitators of Behaviour Change.

▼ Existing evidence-based smoking cessation strategies, which are efficacious for longer-term smokers, have low uptake among less experienced young adult smokers (Suls et al., 2012). Emerging adults (i.e., 18 to 25 year olds who are transitioning from adolescence into adulthood; Arnett, 2000) value
social relationships highly, and
social groups provide acceptance and belonging during a time of identity formation (Arnett, 2000; Erikson, 1968). Research confirms that having friends who smoke in early adulthood is linked to consolidation of smoking behaviour and can be a barrier to quitting (Hammond, 2005; Kobus, 2003; Tucker, Ellickson, & Klein, 2003). Moreover, young adult smokers living in countries with advanced tobacco control environments have evaded smoking prevention interventions and continue to smoke despite societal beliefs that smoking is culturally unacceptable. Therefore, it is important to understand how smoking cessation in emerging adulthood may be influenced by the attitudes and behaviours of others. The research reported in this dissertation aims to integrate and expand on the current understanding of the relationship between
social norms and smoking cessation among emerging adults and to apply that knowledge to two contrasting smoking cessation strategies: e-cigarettes and anti-smoking mass media campaigns. Study 1 (focus groups) explored how
social identity and normative group behaviours in
social situations could be obstacles for quitting among emerging adults. The results showed that emerging adults were concerned with, and had difficulty managing, potential changes in
social situations that could arise from quitting smoking. Moreover, the absence of quitting
norms made it difficult to transition to a non-smoking identity. Study 2 (focus groups) explored perceptions of e-cigarettes as a potential smoking cessation strategy using a
social norm perspective. The results showed that, beyond some initial curiosity, e-cigarettes held little appeal for the participants in this study. Furthermore, participants expressed concern that they would be negatively perceived by others when using an e-cigarette. Consequently, e-cigarettes were potentially more likely to undermine than to facilitate the development of smoking cessation
norms. Study 3 (systematic scoping review) explored the role of
social norms in the context of anti-smoking mass media campaigns. The results showed that the likelihood of smoking cessation increased following exposure to messages that conveyed disapproval of smoking by others. However, the role of quitting/non-smoking descriptive
norms (i.e., what is commonly done when quitting) was rarely examined. Study 4 (cross-sectional online questionnaire) hypothesised that descriptive non-smoking
norms would increase self-efficacy to resist smoking in
social settings through its relationship with smoking-related
social identities. The hypothesis was partially supported; the relationship between descriptive non-smoking
norms and self-efficacy was mediated by ‘ex-smoker’ but not ‘attempting…

▼ <b>Duelling</b> The norm of duelling endured for hundreds of years in Europe. In the United Kingdom it disappeared abruptly in the mid-nineteenth century, whereas in France it declined slowly. I present a simple model of social norms that explains these phenomena. The model predicts that the evolution of norms is characterised by tipping, whereby norms can shift suddenly due to shocks, and by a ratchet effect, whereby changes in parameters can cause norms to decline gradually. I show that the model can be supported by an equilibrium of a repeated game, with no special assumptions about preferences. <b>Community enforcement using modal actions</b> I prove two folk theorems for repeated games with random matching. A large group of players is rematched at random each period, so that players who deviate must be sanctioned by third parties. Previous analyses have either relied on strong assumptions about information transmission, or have been limited to equilibria that are not robust to noise or in which players are indifferent. I use a simple construction based on modal actions to obtain results for strict and robust equilibria. <b>Learning repeated-game strategies</b> The literature on boundedly rational learning has tended to focus on stagegame actions. I present a stochastic learning rule for repeated-game strategies. Players form beliefs about their opponentâs strategy based on past actions and best-respond. Occasionally, they make mistakes and experiment, and I show that the equilibrium selected depends on exactly how players make mistakes. Simple specifications of the learning rule yield intuitive selection results: the maxmin, or Rawlsian, outcome; the Nash bargaining solution; the maximum of the sum of payoffs; and a generalisation of risk dominance.

▼ The aim of this study is to point out different aspects of modernity in the cookbook Husmoderns Köksalmanack. It is a publication that has been published annually since 1933. The books have been studied in the light of Anthony Giddens´ theoretical perspective on modernity. The study is based on three different themes that all can be linked to modernity. These themes are; Time and space, Locally, regionally and globally, and Advice. I also want to demonstrate that these books can be seen as part of a larger structural context. The results show that Husmoderns Köksalmanack can be viewed as an arena for several aspects of modernity, and it can also help to create and maintain social norms in this area.

▼ Intervention programmes aimed at promoting pro-environmental behaviours typically
rely solely on information-only appeals. However, research has shown that
information-based interventions do not often lead to behaviour change, instead
presenting the use of
social norms as a better catalyst for change (see, e.g., Cialdini,
2003; Schultz, 1998; Schultz & Kaiser, forthcoming). The current research adds to a
growing body of literature that employs normative influence (information regarding
the behaviour commonly conducted by others) to promote pro-environmental
behaviour. Two experimental studies compared the effectiveness of normative
information with information-only environmental messages. Study 1 used a survey
questionnaire to measure participants’ self-reports of household energy efficiency and
Study 2 used a field experiment to directly measure hotel guests’ towel reuse. Results
indicated that individuals provided with
social norm information engaged in more
pro-environmental behaviour than those who were presented solely with
environmental information. The findings also suggest that there is a need to
distinguish between types of pro-environmental behaviour and the role of
social
reference groups when designing normative messages. The implications of these
findings are discussed along with directions for future research.

▼ Natural hazards impact millions of people globally and lead to billions of dollars of economic loss each year. New Zealand is one of many countries vulnerable to multiple natural hazards including earthquakes, tsunami, volcanic eruption, and high impact weather. Despite these well-known risks, many residents of the capital city of Wellington have taken few steps to be more prepared. This location, therefore, presented an appropriate population for the investigations within this thesis. Decades of
social science research has identified a multitude of factors related to preparation behaviour. However, many of these factors, such as risk perception and previous experience of natural hazards, are difficult to manipulate successfully in broad public education campaigns. The first main aim of this thesis was therefore to identify thoughts and beliefs about preparing which predict people’s preparation behaviour, with the aim of identifying specific factors which can be efficiently and effectively targeted in campaigns encouraging preparation. This research was structured using the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) which proposes a specific set of cognitions that affect intention formation as well as beliefs which inform those cognitions. In addition to using this model to structure the investigation, this thesis undertook several refinements and extensions to the model to address inconsistencies within TPB research. The intent of doing so was to provide a set of findings and a questionnaire which are not limited by those inconsistencies and which can be adapted for a range of behavioural contexts.
Four empirical studies were carried out, involving a total of 2,298 participants from the general population. Study 1 tested the applicability of this theory to the context of natural disaster preparation and clarified the nature of that context. Using an online survey of 722 residents of the urban Wellington region, Study 1 demonstrated low levels of preparation, identified not “getting around to it” as a main barrier to preparation, and supported a more extensive application of the TPB with the factors explaining approximately 16% of the variance in intentions. Study 2 tested a full TPB questionnaire including both the two-factor distinction (splitting attitudes into instrumental and experiential,
norms in descriptive and injunctive, and perceived behaviour control into controllability and self-efficacy) and belief components which are proposed to precede attitudes,
norms, and control. This study used an online sample of 603 Wellington residents. All the cognitions within the theory except perceived descriptive
norms were significantly associated with either past behaviour or intentions to prepare, explaining approximately 47% of the variance in intentions. This study also included an experimental framing manipulation, demonstrating benefits of referring to “natural hazard” preparation rather than “natural disaster” preparation.
Study 3 concluded the development of the TPB questionnaire by assessing intentions, cognitions,…

▼ This dissertation analyzes twenty-six interviews with women who have temporary hair loss, thinning hair, or alopecia to gain insight into how hair loss affects women's identity performances by drawing from the work of Goffman (1959; 1963) and Foucault (1988; 1995). This project examines how these processes differ for women depending on the type of hair loss they have and their consequences for identity. For women with temporary hair loss, the issue of temporality is critical as they wait out their hair loss by trying to look healthy and feminine while wearing wigs until their hair grows back. Women with thinning hair find their hair loss disconcerting as it marks a change from their earlier appearance and sense of self, focusing on looking professional, acceptable, and presentable as they try to come to terms with their situation. Women with alopecia focus on controlling their appearance by hiding their hair loss from others as well as meeting
social and cultural
norms of gender, femininity, beauty, normality, and health in order to protect their image they portray to others. This project concludes with a discussion of how temporality and diagnosis can help us understand women's experiences of hair loss as well as what this study tells us about what it means to have a healthy identity.

▼ It has been claimed by some that it is a defining property of teaching that it has, at least as its partial aim, the development of rule-guided conduct in others. I shall maintain that learning to follow a rule presupposes that one is already familiar with, and has participated in, rule-governed practices.
I will try to develop an exposition of Wittgenstein's conception of following a rule in the context of the paradigm case of following a rule, which is the set of related activities, which, taken together, amount to speaking a language. In the course of advancing my interpretation of what Wittgenstein says about following a rule, I will discuss the implications which the accounts of Ryle, Kripke and Dummett respectively have for the Wittgensteinian conception of following a rule. In a separate discussion of the notion of a convention, which is one of the key concerns in Wittgenstein's analysis of following a rule, I will look at Lewis's explanation of a convention and consequently try to assess its value in throwing light on Wittgenstein's idea of a convention. If, as I argue, Wittgenstein's conception of following a rule must be accepted, then we must also accept its most important implication for teaching rule-guided conduct: teachers do not initiate pupils into the general practice of following rules, for that practice is one in which both teacher and pupil already share; rather, the teacher can only extend the pupil's repertoire of rules.

▼ As the human population grows, so too does the need to understand human behavior. One particularly important aspect of human behavior is how it changes within conglomerations of people, i.e. crowds. In this thesis, a method for modeling crowd behavior is proposed. This method draws inspiration from the concept of behavioral intention and the related forces of attitudes, influences, and
social norms. These topics are first defined and detailed, followed by a survey of related research. Next, the model is presented and adapted to three common crowd dynamics, each stressing a different component of behavioral intention. Observations are made about these models, and extensions to the models and directions for future research are considered.

▼ Smokers have been regarded as having low distress tolerance, a characteristic shown to be linked to smoking behavior. Individual and population based interventions have proven to be effective in changing behavior; however, no research exists that has investigated the effect of a population based intervention on manipulating distress tolerance and subsequent smoking behavior. The present study utilized a type of population based approach commonly associated with successful behavior change:
social norms. Specifically, the effects of a
social norm intervention on distress tolerance as measured by pain tolerance during the cold pressor task as well as subsequent smoking behavior (i.e., latency to smoke) was examined. Participants consisted of 128 moderate smokers (at least 12 cigarettes per day). Participants were randomly assigned to one of two groups:
social norm treatment and
social norm control. Two separate oneway ANCOVA???s were conducted to assess the effects of the treatment on distress tolerance and subsequent smoking behavior while controlling for covariates (e.g., gender, pain catastrophizing). Results indicated that individuals who received a
social norm message increased pain tolerance compared to those who did not receive a
social norm message. However, latency to smoke was similar across both groups. Implications as to how to better experimentally assess smoking variables in future studies are discussed.

▼ Despite the extensive benefits associated with a physically active life style, less than 50% of US adults engage in recommended levels of physical activity (PA), so finding ways to structure environments to promote PA is an important concern. Social norms, conceptualized as an individual’s perception of peer behavior, provide a framework for exploring factors that influence decisions to be physically active. Although researchers have investigated how social norms influence a variety of behaviors, the PA domain has not been fully explored. The focus of this dissertation is to apply social norms theories to investigate how normative information influences PA intentions and exercise behaviors. In the first study, using the Theory of Normative Social Behavior as a framework, interrelationships among social norms, exercise identity, group identity, outcome expectations, and PA intentions were explored in a correlational design. The focus was to explore the underlying mechanisms in the relationship between descriptive norms and PA intentions. College students (N=345) in an introductory kinesiology course completed validated surveys. Descriptive norms were related to PA intentions and this relationship was partially mediated by injunctive norms, outcome expectations, and group identity. Additionally, exercise self-identity fully mediated the relationship. The results highlight the importance of fostering high levels of exercise self-identity when structuring environments to promote PA. An experimental design was used in the second study to investigate the influence of positive and negative normative information on the performance of an exercise endurance task. College students (N=102) were randomly assigned to receive positive or negative normative information, or no information, concerning expectations for their performance. Individuals who received positive feedback performed better than those who received negative feedback and those who did not receive normative information. The provision of positive normative information also produced an increase in self-efficacy for the task. Taken together, the findings from these studies provide insight into ways that social norms should be structured to promote physically active lifestyles. A focus on positive normative information and promoting exercise self-identity are key factors in this process, and these studies suggest that understanding the role of self-efficacy is also an important concern.

▼ To explore the effect of social
tuning on individual's implicit prejudice, college students were
brought into a lab to perform several tasks. Likability of the
experimenter was manipulated in order to motivate individuals to
socially tune or not (likable, dislikable). Ostensible attitudes of
the experimenter were also manipulated (egalitarian, no known
attitude). After these manipulations, students completed several
Implicit Associations Tests (IATs). Results were analyzed using a
factorial ANOVA design (2 (affiliative motivation: high, low) X 2
(views: egalitarian, control), revealing no interactions of
likability or attitudes. I discuss the implications of these
findings and explore possible
solutions.
