| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study was to clarify how social norms, especially injunctive norms (ought to～), arise in society. In economics and evolutionary biology, the equilibrium of games or biological strategies has been defined as norms. The equilibriums of the game, however, are the uniform behavior patterns. These patterns are not the injunctive norm, but the descriptive norm. In this research, we propose the hypothesis that both generations of change and education are necessary to generate the injunctive norms. The results of group experiments clarified that a group with generation change produces the injunctive norm rather than a group without it. These results might bring some theoretical contributions to cultural evolution theory.
