However, little is known about how preferred responses to norm violations vary across cultures and across domains. In a preregistered study of 57 countries (using convenience samples of 22,863 students and non-students), we measured perceptions of the appropriateness of various responses to a violation of a cooperative norm and to atypical social behaviors. Our findings highlight both cultural universals and cultural variation. We find a universal negative relation between appropriateness ratings of norm violations and appropriateness ratings of responses in the form of confrontation, social ostracism and gossip. Moreover, we find the country variation in the appropriateness of sanctions to be consistent across different norm violations but not across different sanctions. Specifically, in those countries where use of physical confrontation and social ostracism is rated as less appropriate, gossip is rated as more appropriate. Little is known about people?s preferred responses to norm violations across countries. Here, in a study of 57 countries, the authors highlight cultural similarities and differences in people?s perception of the appropriateness of norm violations. title: Perceptions of the appropriate response to norm violation in 57 societies | Nature Communications twitter:image: https://media.springernature.com/full/springer-static/image/art%3A10.1038%2Fs41467-021-21602-9/MediaObjects/41467_2021_21602_Fig1_HTML.png citation_online_date: 2021/03/05 twitter:site: @NatureComms dc.source: Nature Communications 2021 12:1 dc.type: OriginalPaper dc.copyright: 2021 The Author(s) dc.creator: Eriksson, Kimmo citation_fulltext_html_url: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-021-21602-9 prism.publicationDate: 2021-03-05 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 journal_id: 41467 X-Parsed-By: org.apache.tika.parser.DefaultParser dc.description: Norm enforcement may be important for resolving conflicts and promoting cooperation.
