What is the difference between a norm and a value?

  1. Norms are specific behaviors while values are accepted beliefs

  2. Values are specific behaviors while norms are accepted beliefs

  3. Norms are collective beliefs while values are individual beliefs

  4. Values are collective beliefs while norms are individual beliefs

The correct answer is: Norms are specific behaviors while values are accepted beliefs

The difference between a norm and a value is that norms refer to specific behaviors, while values refer to accepted beliefs. In contrast, the other options confuse the definitions of norm and value. Option B incorrectly states that values are behaviors, when they are actually beliefs. Option C incorrectly defines norms as collective beliefs, when they are actually specific behaviors. Option D also swaps the definitions, stating that norms are collective beliefs and values are individual beliefs, when once again, values are beliefs and norms are behaviors.
