In a study by Luke J. Chang and Leonie Koban they explain that “social norms are shared expectations about appropriate behavior for a specific context” (Chang 7615). Social norms can be as general or specific as shaking hands after a soccer game to how to answer a telephone. The way people in society act or behave is socially constructed so that people act in an expected way. The study by Chang and Koban called “Modeling Emotion and Learning of Norms in Social Interactions” also states that previous experiences have a have a great impact on behavior and emotions which changes social interactions (Chang 7615). As people in society go through their life each individual experience different things, thus giving the individual their own social norms which may or may not fall in line with society’s social norm. The study further develops the idea that social norms can also be determined by previous experiences. A society, just as an individual, may have experiences that will change the social norm which people are expected to abide by.
