The current study tested the immediate impact of receiving normative information on self-reports of drinking.
One alternative explanation for the observed impact of normative feedback interventions is that participants who receive normative information will just report reductions in their drinking rather than actually reducing the amount they drink.
The main implication is that low achieving students should be given opportunity to focus their attention on their own learning progress without scores (self-referenced feedback) rather than receiving normative feedback (Sutton, 2010).
The intervention group (IG) (n = 80) received extensive normative feedback; the control group (CG) (n = 78) received very brief feedback consisting of only three statements.
Justice cannot be explained without these equality principles; the equality principles only receive their normative significance in their role as principles of justice.
Since 1996, kindergartens are eligible to receive a double normative grant for each child with a speech based need or mild mental disability, and a triple grant for each child with a physical or sensory disability, autism, or moderate to severe disabilities.
Results demonstrated that high-energy-consuming households receiving only descriptive normative information reduced their energy consumption, whilst low-energy consuming households receiving only the descriptive message showed a "boomerang" effect, whereby they increased their energy consumption post-baseline.
While much work has focused on the semantics of norms, the design of normative systems, and in particular understanding the impact of norms on a system, has received little attention.
Moral motivation has, in any case, received far greater attention than motivation in connection with other normative judgments.
Responses to the surveys were received from 1905 parents (ADHD parent sample, n = 910; normative population parent sample, n = 995).
