Resumen:
How important are social norms in our daily lives? Would it be intolerable to have to think about every decision that we make? For example, when we wake up in the morning, we usually dont think about whether or not to get dressed, but automatically do so. On the other hand, do social norms limit our ability to think for ourselves and force us into a type of herd mentality? Epstein (2001) introduced a simple, agent-based model to compare the strength of a social norm with that of individual thought, using a binary value to represent the norm of an agent. In the present paper this model is extended to include a real value representing the degree of intensity of the agent with respect to the social norm. Runs of the model are given, comparing the results obtained with the proposed model to those of Epstein.
