A norm refers to a behavior or judgment rule that is widely shared and accepted within a group. When individuals fail to adhere to these norms, they may face exclusion or marginalization from the group. Typically, norms are informal and not formally documented; they often go unspoken, making them implicit rules. Despite their lack of visibility, these norms exert a strong influence on the behaviors of group members. In general, norms play a crucial role in shaping how we interact with one another.
