Normative Behavior

Normative behaviour is defined as behaviour resulting from norm invocation, usually implemented in the form of invocation messages which carry the notions of social pressure, but without direct punishment, and the notion of assimilating to a social surrounding without blind or unthinking imitation. source

Normative behavior refers to actions or attitudes that conform to social norms or rules of conduct within a particular society or group. It is a type of behavior that is generally considered acceptable, appropriate, or "normal" within a given context. Normative behavior can vary depending on the culture, context, and situation. For example, in some cultures, it may be considered normative to bow or shake hands when greeting someone, while in other cultures, hugging or kissing on the cheek may be more normative. Normative behavior is often learned through socialization, which involves the process of internalizing the values, beliefs, and norms of a particular society or group. Social norms can be explicit, such as laws or rules, or implicit, such as unwritten expectations about how one should behave in certain situations. Violations of normative behavior may result in social sanctions or disapproval, while adherence to normative behavior may lead to social approval and acceptance.
