Full textResearch in three parts used behavioral methods and fMRI to shed light on the nature of moral norms and situate them within a broader understanding of how people deploy cognition to navigate the social world. Results revealed that moral norms in two clusters: {1} “universal-rights norms” (i.e., values focused on universal rights to be unharmed and treated as an equal); and {2} “group-elevating norms” (i.e., loyalty, reciprocity, obedience to authority, and concern about purity) predicted prosocial and antisocial moral judgments, interpersonal orientations, and behaviors through cognitive mechanisms including representations of causation and theory of mind (ToM). Five studies reported in Part 1 demonstrated that universal-rights norms were positively associated with prosociality (equal allocations and willingness to help); whereas group-elevating norms were robustly positively associated with antisocial interpersonal orientations (Machiavellianism and Social Dominance Orientation). Three studies in Part 2 showed that group-elevating norms predicted antisocial moral judgments including stigmatization and blame of victims. In contrast, universal-rights values were associated with sensitivity to victims’ suffering and blame of perpetrators. Experimentally manipulating moral focus off of victims and onto perpetrators reduced victim-blaming by reducing perceptions of victims as causal and increasing perceptions of victims as forced. Effects of group-elevating norms on victim-blaming were likewise mediated by perceptions of victim causality and forcedness, suggesting that intervening on focus constitutes one way to modulate effects of moral norms on moral judgments. Four studies in Part 3 examined moral diversity within the domain of fairness and revealed that group-elevating and universal-rights norms are differentially reflected in conceptions of fairness as reciprocity, charity, and impartiality. Reciprocity and charity warranted being clustered together as person-based fairness due to their shared motivational basis in consideration of the unique states of individuals and emotion, and their robust, overlapping recruitment of neural activity indicative of ToM in PC, VMPFC and DMPFC. Impartiality, which favored no particular individual, constituted person-blind fairness, due to its reliance on standard procedures rather than the unique states of individuals or emotion, and its failure to recruit PC, VMPFC and DMPFC. In terms of fairness and moral praiseworthiness, these three allocative processes cleaved along a different line. Person-blind impartiality was rated most fair and highly moral, and person-based fairness broke apart into: charity, deemed highly moral and labeled by the most empathic participants as fair; and reciprocity, which was lowest in fairness and moral praiseworthiness ratings and most esteemed by Machiavellian individuals and those who made a greater number of self-interested allocations. Enhanced activity in LTPJ for unfairness generally, and in judgment of reciprocity in particular, pointed to a role for ToM in moral evaluation of these different conceptions of fairness. Findings across Parts 1-3 have meta-ethical implications. Reduced endorsement of universal-rights norms and increased endorsement of group-elevating norms conferred risk for antisocial judgments, interpersonal orientations and behaviors, suggesting that universal-rights norms and group-elevating norms may differ in their capacity to produce moral outcomes. Results demonstrating a role for ToM and representations of causality in the effects of moral norms on moral judgments deserve focus in future research. It will be important to determine how deeply moral values imbed into individuals’ cognitive architecture, and the extent to which effects of moral values can be modulated via interventions on basic cognition

Full textSveriges grundlag samt Bostadsförsörjninglag fastslår att alla boende i Stockholms län har rätt till bostad. Denna uppsats berör de normer som skapats av första- och andrahandsuthyrning på bostadsmarknaden samt regler om förtur i Stockholms län. Med ett queerteoretiskt ramverk analyserar denna uppsats situationen för unga unga vuxna och studenter, äldre, hemlösa, LBGTQ samt misshandlade personer i behov av skydd på bostadsmarknaden i relation till principen om "bostad för alla" och föreslår möjliga policyförändringar med syfte att att göra hyresmarknaden mer inkluderande. Queerteori menar att subjekt är precist skapade av befintliga maktstrukturer genom sociopolitiska uppställningar baserade på antaganden. Även stadsplanering använder genom sin natur antaganden och reproducerar på detta sätta accepterade sanningar och riskerar på detta sätt att generalisera behoven hos heterogena sociala grupper. Dessa generaliseringar kan även skapa scenarion okänsliga för personliga behov. Enligt queerteori ändras identiteter över tid och individer kan tillhöra mer än en kategori samtidigt varför hyresmarknaden fordrar medvetenhet om denna fluiditet. Denna studie undersöker bostadssituationen i Stockholm för unga vuxna, studenter, pensionärer, hemlösa, HBTQ och utsatta personer, ur ett queerteoretiskt perspektiv. Genom metoder som berättelser, intervjuer, dokument, rapporter och statistik är syftet att klargöra hur vedertagna sanningar och normer ligger till grund för boendekategorier, och hur dessa boendekategorier utesluter eller inkluderar olika sociala grupper från hyresmarknaden. För att nå målet ”bostad åt alla”, behövs prisvärda hyresrätter, åtstramning/minskning av renovering av lyxlägenheter samt forskning kring hyressättning, och så vidare. Lagarna kring ”bostad åt alla” kan även följas genom att ändra på normen för hyresvärden, bland annat genom att minska på kraven för vem som anses vara en lämplig hyresgäst (och stå i bostadskö) på basis av sin inkomst samt minimum 50 procent studiefart för studenter. När det gäller andrahandsuthyrning finns ett behov av att minska risken för diskriminering. En möjlig lösning är en databas med lediga lägenheter som finns tillgängliga för de som är i behov av tillgänglighetslägenheter och således nå grupper som, tex hemlösa, som vill ändra sina levnadsförhållanden. Ytterligare en lösning är möjligheten till ”kompiskontrakt” som skulle göra utnyttjandet av hyresbeståndet mer effektivt. Denna studie visar att reglerna kring förstahandskontrakt utesluter vissa individer/grupper som har ett förflutet av att inte kunna betala hyran, lägre inkomst än den totala månadshyran eller som inte är kreditvärdiga. Särskild hänsyn bör därför tas till många gruppers, även hemlösas personliga situation. Resultaten från denna studie visar även att antalet härbärgen i Stockholms län är för få och att Socialstyrelsens bidrag till dessa reproducerar könsbinärer.

Full textThe purpose of the study was to investigate whether norms and motivation can be perceived as having an impact on counterproductive work behaviour among environmental workers. The term environmental workers comprise different types of cleaning workers. The respondents were chosen after they themselves declared an interest in participating in the study. The following study consisted of an inductive and qualitative research process and were conducted with the help of telephone interviews. The interviews were analysed through a thematic analysis. The result showed that the individual's level of motivation can be perceived to have an influence on the individual tendency to act on the basis of counter-productive behaviour. Similarly, norms can be perceived as support for counter-productive behaviour. Based on the respondents' statements, internal motivation factors are considered to be of crucial importance in the question of the tendency regarding counterproductive work behaviour among environmental workers.

Full textEsta tesis se desarrolla en torno a tres preguntas principales aún abiertas en el contexto del estudio de los comportamientos humanos colectivos: ¿cómo es posible la coexistencia de convenciones (opiniones, idiomas, etc. ) concurrentes?; ¿por qué la cooperación en sistemas reales es más común de lo que se predice?; y ¿cómo una norma inicialmente minoritaria puede suplantar a una mayoría? En el primer trabajo nos centramos en formular un modelo capaz de contemplar la coexistencia de convenciones opuestas como una solución dinámica estable. En el segundo modelo, analizamos la influencia de la dinámica de opinión el primer análisis cuantitativo (el mejor de nuestro conocimiento) del fenómeno de evolución de las normas, es decir, lo que sucede cuando una nueva norma social reemplaza a una norma existente. Resumiendo, los resultados obtenidos en estos trabajos muestran que al modelar los comportamientos humanos colectivos, el hecho de que los individuos participan simultáneamente en diferentes contextos sociales juega un papel importante. Esto implica que los individuos están sujetos tanto a la influencia de diferentes dinámicas sociales como a estructuras de interacciones diferentes, pero no independientes. También hemos demostrado que, en el complejo proceso de cambio colectivo en la adopción de normas, la naturaleza del cambio de normas deja patrones distintos en los datos representados por tres tipos diferentes de transición dinámica. Este último trabajo avanza la comprensión actual de la evolución de las normas, más a menudo limitado a ilustraciones cualitativas (por ejemplo, la observación de que la curva de adopción de la nueva norma sigue un comportamiento ”en forma de S” ).
