| dc.description.abstract | Previous research has found that fate control encourages group-oriented behavior in resource sharing situations. Other researchers have theorized that norms can efficiently regulate behavior in such situations. This study incorporates these two positions by manipulating fate control in a sequential task and using Jackson's (1966) Return Potential Model to measure norms. Of particular interest was whether fate control leads to the emergence of norms. Based on the conflict hypothesis (Thibaut & Kelley, 1959), it was predicted that normative structure would be greater in the fate control condition than in the no fate control condition. In addition, two different rating formats were used to measure norms: the standard format specified by Jackson (I 966), and a "self' format in which subjects estimate approval of their own behavior. Results indicated little normative structure in the no fate control-standard condition. Evidence of a norm was stronger in the no fate control-self condition and in the two fate control conditions. The results led to the conclusion that fate control influences characteristics of norms. A model is proposed which incorporates both conflict and group identity as mediators of fate control and the emergence of norms in resource dilemmas. Results also indicated greater normative structure in the self format compared to the standard format. | en |
