considered acceptable in a particular social group or culture.Norms provide us
with an expected idea of how to behave,and function to provide order and
predictability in society.

social norms that are commonly accepted,such as: Shake hands when you
meet someone.Make direct eye contact with the person you are speaking
with. Unless the movie theater is crowded,do not sit right next to someone

instructions or orders from an authority figure without question. Or simply defined

of the people within the group.When an individual conform, he is also being
obedient and in order for people to comply, there must be a perceived authority
within the group who can influences the behavior of member of that group.

BEHAVIORARE NOT OPPOSITES
• Prosocial behavior and aggression seem to represent opposite ends of a
single dimension of behavior since they are consistently negatively related to
each other and relate in opposite ways to correlated variables both synchronously
and over time

12. • Three possible developmental links are plausible between these two behaviours:
First,only prosocial behaviour predicts future aggressive behaviour.
Second,only aggressive behaviour predicts future prosocial behaviour.Third,
aggressive and prosocial behaviours reciprocally predict each other over time
