The three-stage model of social norm learning, as a step-by-step, dynamic, and cyclic process of learning a new social norm in a certain situation or new cultural context, includes three stages: (1) Pre-learning stage is referred to the process that individuals perceive the social norms through the collection of various social information in certain situations from situational sources (e.g., the place where a social norm happens, the present group which learner belongs to) and social sources (e.g., differences between the new norm in in-group and for outgroup, social deviants), which is useful to make people realize that there may be the new social norm in such situation and form the initial social norm prediction of this new social norm; (2) Reinforcement learning stage is a dynamic process of forming various predictions of this new social norm, receiving social feedbacks from others (e.g., social emotion, reward and punishment, social inclusion, and exclusion), adjusting the prediction error and forming a new prediction, and finally form the concise and appropriate prediction of this new social norm to adapt to others’ behaviors; (3) Internalization stage aims to integrate into new social norms and extend the former norm system, which is involved in three ways for those who regard this new social norm as personal and moral values, a majority norm, and a default option.
