“…For instance, gun ownership is a controversial normative debate within U.S. society [19], involving subgroups with different cultural orientations [20]. Abortion is another topic debated worldwide, with disagreements concerning womens rights, health care systems and moral constraints [21]. Empirical research shows how the controversy around abortion leads to a polarization of opinions within Protestants and Catholic groups in U.S. society [22].…”

Social norms can facilitate societal coexistence in groups by providing an implicitly shared set of expectations and behavioral guidelines. However, different social groups can hold different norms, and lacking an overarching normative consensus can lead to conflict within and between groups. In this chapter, we present an agent-based model that simulates the adoption of norms in two interacting groups. We explore this phenomenon while varying relative group sizes and homophily/heterophily (two features of network structure), and initial group norm distributions. Agents update their norm according to an adapted version of Granovetter's threshold model, using a uniform distribution of thresholds. We study the impact of network structure and initial norm distributions on the process of achieving norma-(eds). Computational Conflict Research. Cham: Springer Nature.) 1 2 J. Kohne, N. Gallagher, Z.M. Kirgil, R. Paolillo, L. Padmos, F. Karimi tive consensus and the resulting potential for intragroup and intergroup conflict. Our results show that norm change is most likely when norms are strongly tied to group membership. Groups end up with the most similar norm distributions when networks are heterophilic, with small to middling minority groups. High homophilic networks show high potential intergroup conflict and low potential intragroup conflict, while the opposite pattern emerges for high heterophilic networks.

“…We noted previously that very little research on abortion has been published in Feminism & Psychology, despite the long-standing importance of issues of reproductive rights for feminists (Marecek, Macleod, & Hoggart, 2017). We attribute this scarcity of research at least in part to the difficulty of conducting such research.…”
