Dr. Betsy Levy Paluck, Princeton University

Title: Engineering Social Change Using Social Norms


Abstract: Behavioral interventions have embraced social norms as information that can be communicated in simple messages to motivate behavior change. Work from my lab argues for the value and necessity of recognizing that social norm interventions are grounded in group processes. This approach has three major benefits that more than offset the costs of its greater theoretical and practical complexity. One, it improves the effectiveness of existing interventions, including those that target the normative beliefs of individuals. Two, it opens up new intervention strategies that broaden the range of mechanisms used to change behavior. Three, it connects research on social-norm interventions with theories and research on collective phenomena like social movements and institutional culture change.

This talk will be held on Zoom only:
