요약To test the theory that the perception of social norms affects one's behavior, researchers have created messages that highlight a social norm and observed whether individuals adjust their actions accordingly. A close examination of the stimuli used in previous studies reveals that many messages, which have been labeled as "social norms messages" by the authors, simply ask people to do a certain behavior without referencing a social norm (e.g., "Please wash your hands"). The surprising effectiveness of these "behavioral requests" casts doubt on the role of social norms in behavior change. In a series of four studies, we examine the effects of behavioral requests and social norms messages on (1) people's perceptions of social norms and (2) behavior change. Study 1 was a field experiment in which we encouraged bikers (N = 498) to signal when passing pedestrians on a bike path. We found that any type of message was more effective at leading bikers to signal than a no-message control condition, but we observed no differences between the messages. In Studies 2 and 3, participants (N = 5823 and N = 4085 respectively) read either a social norms message, a behavioral request, or no message and then reported their perceived strength of the descriptive (Studies 2 and 3) and injunctive norms (Study 3). We found that all messages increased the perceived strength of descriptive and injunctive social norms relative to the control condition. Study 4, a field experiment in which we observed the behavior of bikers (N = 732) and recruited a portion of the sample (N = 63) to report their perception of social norms, revealed that no messages increased the rate of signaling, but that perceived injunctive norms predicted behavior. Overall, we identify behavioral requests as a distinct type of persuasive message and call for further research to examine both the perception of social norms and real-world behavior.
