Social Norms, Social Change I

I find that the term social norms is bandied around very frequently and the public at large only have a general and broad idea of what this means.

But now I understand that not every collective behaviour is a social norm as some collective behaviours are independent of social expectations and as such, are not social norms.Especially helpful are the diagnostic charts and tools that are presented to help us differentiate the terms and concepts and apply them.

Great course, learned a lot about analysing social norms and how the different sides of social norms.

The more importante examples would be, in my opinion, the reference network, normative expectations, conditiontal preference, pluralistic ignorance and social norms.

Well based in rigurous references.To understand social norms and a first approach to measure them.

Excellent introduction to the concepts and applications of Bicchieri's social norms theory.

i really like this course as it showed the root of some social norms in the community that i live in and i was able to analyses people's motives for behaving in such way.

It is a great course that allow to learn the importance of social norms in order to propose change mechanisms and promote social development and human rights achievement.

I was interested to learn more about FGM and open defecation, as these are two social norms prevalent in Africa, where I live.

This course was very effective in earning orientation and skills on understanding social norms, expectations (empirical and normative) and measuring norms through tools.

Also, the stuff about social norms is very confusing and hard to understand.

It is a Great course for who ever is working with Social organizations and with projects dealing with social Norms, even for another people is always good to understand some patterns of behavior.

All those who are interested in social change will surely find the course extremely relevant and useful.

Extremely val Great course for those who have a concern for social change and a non prudential personal normative belief to bring a social change for benefit of all.

A reference to the role of social norms and social change in large cities and the role of social media, for example, would have made the course even more relevant.

Gave me a lot of ideas on how to go about designing social change initiatives.

It discussed important topics within Social Norms and Social Change at length, and really strengthened my understanding of each!

very useful to implement behavioral change projects and social change issue!

It's very interesting for monitoring the Social Change.

I look forward for social norms, social change II.

I loved taking Social Norms, Social Change I.

I feel I have learnt a lot about different behavioural patterns we engage in, how to identify norms and how to measure them.

this is the first course I've done via online and I learnt a lot.

I learnt a lot of new things but the information was not too high above my normal level of knowledge and I did not need too much extra reading to understand the content.

I think in a whole I have learnt a lot and hope to undertake similar courses in due time This are a very complex theory in international development due to the variety of behaviour, culture, custom in the different societies around the world.

Thank you so much!

Things I find especially interesting are actually in the last week of the lecture, where the professor had introduced to me tips and tricks for measuring outcomes and making surveys that could actually get quality information - something I never knew how to do and had never expected to know and realise that it would matter so much.
