Abstract

In this paper the results of several agent-based simulations, 
aiming to test the role of normative beliefs in the emergence and innovation of social norms, are presented and discussed. Rather than mere 
behavioral regularities, norms are here seen as behaviors spreading to 
the extent that and because the corresponding commands and beliefs 
do spread as well. On the grounds of such a view, the present work 
will endeavour to show that a sudden external constraint (e.g. a barrier 
preventing agents from moving among social settings) facilitates norm 
innovation: under such a condition, agents provided with a module for 
telling what a norm is can generate new (social) norms by forming new 
normative beliefs, irrespective of the most frequent actions.
