Social Norms and Behavior

Human behavior is motivated by social norms. Social norms are the “rules” that describe what is typical or normal for most people. Social norms motivate people by providing evidence of what behavior will be best. In other words, if everyone is doing it, it must be the thing to do. Social pressure to conform offers a shortcut to deciding how to act in a given situation. By seeing what other people do, and by imitating their actions, one can usually, choose efficiently. The perception of what most others are doing influences one to behave similarly.
