The economics of long‐term care. An overview¹

Justina Klimaviciute, Pierre Pestieau

Journal of Economic Surveys > 37 > 4 > 1192 - 1213

With the rapid increase in long‐term care (LTC) needs, it is important to assess the expected contributions of the traditional providers of LTC: the state, the market and the family. We first survey the literature devoted to the family and the market. Then, given the declining role of family caregiving and the negligible role of the market, we look at a number of studies exploring the design of public...

Normative information can induce biased choice toward delayed larger rewards in adulthood

Takayuki Goto

Asian Journal of Social Psychology > 26 > 3 > 351 - 362

Previous research has revealed that observing or learning about others' choices can change individuals' choice of delayed rewards. To extend these findings, the present research investigated whether normative information can change the choice for delayed rewards in adulthood. Participants completed a questionnaire consisting of 27 intertemporal conflicts after they had read a description about normative...

RESPONSIBLE AGENCY: A HUMAN DISTINCTIVE?

Jennifer A. Herdt

Zygon® > 58 > 2 > 504 - 521

While agent responsibility appears to be one of the clearest examples of a human distinctive, practices of holding responsible are bound up with social expectations and emotional reactions, many of which are shared with other social animals. This essay attends to the ways in which what Peter Strawson first identified as the reactive emotions, including notably anger, resentment, and indignation, are...

Five lessons to guide more effective biodiversity conservation message framing

Alexander M. Kusmanoff, Fiona Fidler, Ascelin Gordon, Georgia E. Garrard, more

Conservation Biology > 34 > 5 > 1131 - 1141

Communication and advocacy approaches that influence attitudes and behaviors are key to addressing conservation problems, and the way an issue is framed can affect how people view, judge, and respond to an issue. Responses to conservation interventions can also be influenced by subtle wording changes in statements that may appeal to different values, activate social norms, influence a person's affect...

Situated Food Safety Risk and the Influence of Social Norms

Nina Veflen, Joachim Scholderer, Solveig Langsrud

Risk Analysis > 40 > 5 > 1092 - 1110

Previous studies of risk behavior observed weak or inconsistent relationships between risk perception and risk‐taking. One aspect that has often been neglected in such studies is the situational context in which risk behavior is embedded: Even though a person may perceive a behavior as risky, the social norms governing the situation may work as a counteracting force, overriding the influence of risk...

Hiroshi Murayama, Shiho Amagasa, Shigeru Inoue, Takeo Fujiwara, more

BMC Public Health > 2019 > 19 > 1 > 1-9

Background The concept of sekentei (social appearance), defined as sensitivity about one’s reputation, reflects Japanese behavioral principles and involves pressure to conform to social norms, particularly among people living in rural areas. However, data regarding the relationship between sekentei and health behaviors are sparse. In this study, we examined the relationship between sekentei and objectively-measured...

Orphans and Pro‐social Behaviour: Evidence from Uganda

Bryan C. McCannon, Zachary Rodriguez

Journal of International Development > 31 > 6 > 495 - 515

Disease and violence escalates the prevalence of orphanhood. We investigate whether individuals who were orphaned as a child suffer long‐term consequences on their pro‐sociality. We conduct a lab‐in‐the‐field experiment in rural Uganda where, among other contributing factors, the HIV/AIDS pandemic hit hardest. Subjects made decisions to contribute to a public good. Results indicate that adults who...

The impact of social norms interventions on clinical behaviour change among health workers: protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis

Sarah Cotterill, Rachael Powell, Sarah Rhodes, Benjamin Brown, more

Systematic Reviews > 2019 > 8 > 1 > 1-9

Background Health workers routinely carry out clinical behaviours, such as prescribing, test-ordering or hand-washing, which impact on patient diagnoses, care, treatment and recovery. Social norms are the implicit or explicit rules that a group uses to determine values, beliefs, attitudes and behaviours. A social norms intervention seeks to change the clinical behaviour of a target health worker by...

Motivation of Parent–Child Co‐residence Behavior: Evidence from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study

Yijie Wang, Wenkai Sun, Xianghong Wang

China & World Economy > 27 > 2 > 66 - 85

This paper examines the motivations of parent‐child co‐residence behavior in China using data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. We test three possible motives: social norms, self‐interest and altruism. We find that social norms play an important role in household co‐residence behavior, showing that the belief that “sons take care of parents” is strong, and children in different...

Fenomen przekraczania tabu seksualności w kontekście norm społecznych

Magdalena Zubiel-Kasprowicz

Heteroglossia - studia kulturoznawczo-filologiczne > 2019 > 9 > 213-222

This paper presents the notion of taboo in the context of a social phenomenon identified with a strong exclusion that simultaneously binds nature and culture. Trying to define it, you can say that taboos are not just what cannot be named, what cannot be done, but also what cannot be thought of. This term is connected with a strong ban and fear. Sexual life, along with all its forms, ranging from debauchery...

Semiotyka dziwactwa

Marek Hendrykowski

Images. The International Journal of European Film, Performing Arts and... > 2018 > 23 > 32

The author assumes that the curiosity is a type of human expression. It can manifest in various languages and people’s behaviors, e.g.: verbal, mimic, gestural, costume and also by props, hairstyles, makeup etc. Regardless of differences between particular manifestations of the curiosity it is always semiotic. Freaks, eccentrics and weirdos disturb human community’s order and call into question established...

Preferences over procedures and outcomes in judgment aggregation: an experimental study

Takuya Sekiguchi

Theory and Decision > 2019 > 86 > 2 > 239-258

The aggregation of individual judgments on logically connected issues often leads to collective inconsistency. This study examines two collective decision-making procedures designed to avoid such inconsistency—one premise-based and the other conclusion-based. While the relative desirability of the two procedures has been studied extensively from a theoretical perspective, the preference of individuals...

Social norms and cooperation

Bryan C. McCannon

International Journal of Economic Theory > 14 > 4 > 303 - 307

A theoretical framework is introduced to model social norms using the tools of psychological game theory. In the prisoner's dilemma game, a preference for norm compliance can lead to cooperation arising with a positive probability, and if this preference is sufficiently strong, occurring as a pure strategy equilibrium. Thus, cooperation can arise as a social norm in a one‐shot prisoner's dilemma...

Normative prompts reduce consumer food waste in restaurants

Sabrina Stöckli, Michael Dorn, Stefan Liechti

Waste Management > 2018 > 77 > C > 532-536

This field study demonstrates that prompts reduce food waste in a restaurant. Based on the behavioral change literature, it was hypothesized that (1) informational prompts encourage consumers to reduce food waste, and that (2) an informational prompt with a normative message is more effective than a prompt with only an informative message. The results were mixed. As expected, diners who were exposed...

The Effect of Unemployment on Life Satisfaction: A Cross-National Comparison Between Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States

Wen-Hao Chen, Feng Hou

Applied Research in Quality of Life > 2019 > 14 > 4 > 1035-1058

This paper investigates the effect of unemployment on life satisfaction from a comparative perspective. It also tests whether the link between unemployment and life satisfaction is moderated or reinforced by contextual unemployment across regions within a country—either through a negative spillover or a positive social-norm effect, or both. The results suggest that noticeable non-pecuniary costs are...

Automatic imitation of pro- and antisocial gestures: Is implicit social behavior censored?

Emiel Cracco, Oliver Genschow, Ina Radkova, Marcel Brass

Cognition > 2018 > 170 > C > 179-189

According to social reward theories, automatic imitation can be understood as a means to obtain positive social consequences. In line with this view, it has been shown that automatic imitation is modulated by contextual variables that constrain the positive outcomes of imitation. However, this work has largely neglected that many gestures have an inherent pro- or antisocial meaning. As a result of...
