Implementing Injunctive Social Norms Using Defeasible Reasoning
نویسندگان
چکیده
Believability requires video game characters to consider their actions within the context of social norms. Social norms involve a broad range of behavioral defaults, obligations, and injunctions unrelated to strictly causal reasoning. Defeasible reasoning involves rationally compelling but deductively invalid arguments, such as reasoning with rules that allow exceptions. This paper investigates having video game characters use defeasible reasoning to consider injunctive social norms when selecting and planning actions.

Argumentation for Normative Reasoning
An agent’s behaviour is governed by multiple factors, including its beliefs/desires/intentions, its reasoning processes and societal influences acting upon it, such as norms. In this paper we propose an extensible argumentation inspired reasoning procedure, and show how it may be used to perform normative reasoning. . The language used by our procedure is built around defeasible, nonmonotonic r...
متن کاملRunning Head: DESCRIPTIVE AND INJUNCTIVE GROUP NORMS Do As We Say and As We Do: The Interplay of Descriptive and Injunctive Group Norms in the Attitude-Behaviour Relationship
Past research on the social identity approach to attitude-behaviour relations (e.g., Terry & Hogg, 1996) has operationalised group norms as a mixture of both descriptive information (i.e., what most people do themselves) and injunctive information (i.e., what most people approve of). Two experiments (Study 1 = 185 participants; Study 2 = 238 participants) were conducted to tease apart the relat...

متن کاملAttitudes, norms, identity and environmental behaviour: using an expanded theory of planned behaviour to predict participation in a kerbside recycling programme.
In an effort to contribute to greater understanding of norms and identity in the theory of planned behaviour, an extended model was used to predict residential kerbside recycling, with self-identity, personal norms, neighbourhood identification, and injunctive and descriptive social norms as additional predictors. Data from a field study (N=527) using questionnaire measures of predictor variabl...
متن کاملSocial influence in child care centers: a test of the theory of normative social behavior.
Child care centers are a unique context for studying communication about the social and personal expectations about health behaviors. The theory of normative social behavior (TNSB; Rimal & Real, 2005 ) provides a framework for testing the role of social and psychological influences on handwashing behaviors among child care workers. A cross-sectional survey of child care workers in 21 centers in...
