The emergence of revenge social norms
12 Feb 2025, 13:00 – 14:00
Social norms of revenge can be found across the world imposing serious costs on the people following them and others in those societies. How do norms of revenge emerge and stabilise given these severe costs?
Aron argues that socio-economic factors play a key role in the emergence of revenge behaviours, emphasising the importance of group interdependence in turning them into social norms.
This event will be particularly useful for researchers, policymakers, academics and students.
