QUERY Formation of Societal Norms
Posted: Mon Dec 11, 2006 12:45 pm
Posted by Stefan Gröser Web <stefan.groesser@web.de> Dear colleagues,
I am working in a research project at the University of Berne which tries to understand the diffusion process in the building environment. (For references, see www.deeb.ch <http://www.deeb.ch/> )
Connected to this I would like to ask the members of this listserver if you know about any System Dynamics Model that captures the phenomenon of “norm formation” in a society. In other words, the establishment of a standard or a convention.
Of course, there is the Polya-process (Sterman 2000) and the famous application in the VHS vs- Betamax case.
But know anybody about a model that tried to capture the over time development of societal norms?
I welcome any hints and of course, also hints about non-SD related literature about the topic.
Thanks for your time.
Best personal regards,
