“…In general, the results produced by the different indicators of perceived legitimacy in relation to compliance with each of the laws are consistent with the development of the concept of the perverse norm proposed by Fernández-Dols [33,34]. The majority opinion that drivers should be allowed to go faster, the perception of the injustice of sanctions for speeding, as well as the frequent violation of speed limits by Spanish drivers, appear to suggest that these limits could be considered perverse.…”

To prevent dangerous driving behaviors, the Spanish government has implemented public policies focused primarily on increasing the harshness of sanctions for violations of traffic laws. However, empirical evidence has demonstrated that other factors, such as social norms and one's own value system, have an impact on people's motivation to obey the law. A telephone survey was administered to a random sample of 570 Spanish drivers in order to determine the role played by each of these factors in compliance with two of the most flouted traffic rules. Logistic regression of the data allowed for the construction of models and arrive at the following conclusions: (1) social influence exerted by the reference group is a determining factor in compliance with both traffic laws; (2) legitimacy factors play an important role in complying with alcohol limits; and (3) variables from the deterrence approach only influenced compliance with speed limits, and then only moderately. The results of the present study suggest a need for a review of current public policy approaches for the prevention of dangerous driving behaviors.

“…Replications of this type, however, can only detect the type of social influence processes captured by the Asch paradigm. Fernandez Dols (1992) proposes that in some cultures conformity processes may operate in a rather different manner. He finds a higher incidence of "perverse" norms in Spain than in Anglo countries.…”

This review considers recent theoretical and empirical developments in cross-cultural studies within social and organizational psychology. It begins with a description of the importance and the difficulties of universalizing psychological science. It then continues with an examination of theoretical work on both the internal-proximal and the external-distal constraints that mediate culture's influence on behavior. Influences on social cognition are documented by describing research on self-concept, self-esteem, emotions, attribution processes, person perception, interpersonal attraction, and justice. Group processes are addressed in the areas of leadership, decision-making, and negotiation, and research in organizational psychology is examined with respect to work motivation and work behavior. The review concludes that considerable improvement is evident in recent cross-cultural research. However, future research must include a broader range of cultures and attend more closely to the levels at which cultural effects should be analyzed, and cultural samples must be unpackaged in more psychologically useful ways.

“…Two theoretical approaches may be useful to address this issue. First, the Perverse Norm Model (Dols, 1992;Fernández-Dols, 1993) has shown that authorities may ignite effects such as demoralization and corruption within the entire system when declaring that these normative appeals consistently perceived as coercive norms are legally valid (Oceja & Fernández-Dols, 2001;Oceja & Fernández-Dols, 2006). Second, the Anxiety-to-Approach Model (Jonas et al, 2014) comprehensively addresses the cognitive and motivational processes that underlie the people's reactions to different kind of threats.…”

Dissecting the dimension of protection: Caligae and Scutum in the evaluative model of normative appeals

et al. 2021

A normative appeal indicates that one should (or should not) do a certain action in a concrete situation. According to the Evaluative Model of Normative Appeals (EMNA), willingness to comply with these messages depends on an appraisal formed by two dimensions: formality and protection. In this work we center on the dimension of protection, proposing that it can be divided into two components: avoiding physical or psychological damage (scutum) and affording the performance of the main intended action (caligae). We conducted two studies to test this twofold meaning of protection. In Study 1 (N = 525), we manipulated the coherence of regulatory focus (promotion vs. control vs. prevention) with salience of the components of protection (caligae vs. control vs. scutum). In Study 2 (N = 513), we separately measured the perception of each component referred to an actual normative appeal (i.e., “To get into a class punctually”). The results showed that the manipulated salience and the measured perception of caligae and scutum elicits (Study 1) and predicts (Study 2) higher willingness to comply with normative appeals. Theoretical and applied implications of the results are discussed.
