Les émotions dans l’internalisation et l’émergence des normes sociales

Abstract

This article presents three complementary approaches that are usually independently handled in scientific literature about the links between emotions and the internalization and the emergence of social norms. The first approach claims that social norms regulate emotions and contribute to the making of the emotional dispositions of members of a society. The second approach defends that emotions sustain social norms by virtue of working as regulators of behaviors: emotions contribute to the maintenance of normative order. The third approach asserts that emotions contribute to the emergence of social norms and therefore to the transformation of the normative order of societies.
