Course Syllabus Evaluation Study

University of British Columbia. Department of Psychology

In this study, we aim to investigate how different types of perceived diversity norms impact perceivers’ likelihood of taking allyship actions towards women in academic settings. Our primary focus is on two specific types of norms: extrinsic norms and moral norms. Extrinsic norms are "what the norms are" and individuals may acknowledge their existence without personally endorsing them. On the other hand, moral norms are viewed as "the right thing to do" and individuals are motivated by their own moral beliefs when it comes to supporting these norms. Through monitoring these two types of norms, we have fabricated a series of reading lists to test how different types of norms can influence the adoption of these reading lists by students. This study will help to to gain insights into the nature of norm transduction that may inform better practices for promoting diversity and inclusion in academic.
