 e\nis\nsubstantial experimental and empirical evidence to suggest that ind
 ividual\nbehavior in bilateral or small-group interactions is affected by 
 social norms.\nFurther\, social norms vary according to context. Previous 
 research largely\nfocuses on norms of fairness\, not norms per se. We desi
 gn an experiment to\ndecouple norm-adherence from fairness. We find that (
 a) a group norm evolves\nand individuals cluster more tightly around it as
  they learn the average\nbehavior of the group\, (b) actions further from 
 this norm in a self-serving\ndirection are less acceptable by others\, and
  (c) when an agent is moved to a\ngroup with a different norm\, s/he confo
 rms quickly to the new norm.Gautam\nBose\nis Associate Professor of Econom

  is primarily in the areas of\nmicroeconomic theory and development econom
