“…Although all disciplines agree that social norms influence health-related behaviours, they offer different theoretical perspectives on what social norms are, how they form and how they shape behaviour (see reviews by Brennan et al, 2013;Elsenbroich and Gilbert, 2014;Mackie et al, 2015;Young, 2015). Loosely speaking, there are three main schools of thought on social norms that respectively defined them as: (i) behavioural patterns, (ii) collective attitudes and (iii) individuals' beliefs about others' behaviours and attitudes (Morris et al, 2015;Young, 2015).…”

SummarySocial norms can greatly influence people's health-related choices and behaviours. In the last few years, scholars and practitioners working in low-and mid-income countries (LMIC) have increasingly been trying to harness the influence of social norms to improve people's health globally. However, the literature informing social norm interventions in LMIC lacks a framework to understand how norms interact with other factors that sustain harmful practices and behaviours. This gap has led to short-sighted interventions that target social norms exclusively without a wider awareness of how other institutional, material, individual and social factors affect the harmful practice. Emphasizing norms to the exclusion of other factors might ultimately discredit norms-based strategies, not because they are flawed but because they alone are not sufficient to shift behaviour. In this paper, we share a framework (already adopted by some practitioners) that locates norm-based strategies within the wider array of factors that must be considered when designing prevention programmes in LMIC.

“…Reference to the indirect patrimonial damages means also reputational damages [45] of gaming industry [46] essentially relates to their reputation [47] -a precious asset when it comes to a long-term business sustainability. In these grounds, one can find plausibility of corporate social responsibility (CSR) [48] of gaming leisure that, if obliterated, might just give rise to a turmoil.…”

Looming in the purview of gaming leisure industry is the utmost importance of artificial intelligence (AI). Its burgeoning preponderance can be straightforwardly depicted by the following conundrum: imagine you walk through into a dazzling casino in Macau aiming to play "Baccarat." As soon as you sit down in order to initiate your gambling journey, you actually realize that the casino table dealer has been replaced by a cuttingedge robot fully equipped to enhance even further casino's house advantage (that in the realm of "Baccarat" is very narrow). What would be your immediate thought? Should you proceed with your gambling endeavors? Should you refrain yourself from initiating your gambling endeavors? Or has your self-confidence just been boosted by this unexpected challenge? Nonetheless, if you scratch deep enough, underpinning these nonrhetorical questions is a rather twisted question: what if the casino patron or high roller (player) decides himself to foster his gambling skills through AI aiming to curb or even override casino's "house advantage?" In any event, should not we take AI on the scope of gaming leisure industry very seriously in order to avoid disrepute or moral hazard of casino gaming leisure industry as a whole in light of its corporate social responsibility? This chapter will provide an overview about the current prominence of AI or simulation-based AI in gaming leisure industry, mainly for research purposes in the context of problem gambling and of forecasting online casino patron's churn behavior. Finally, this chapter will carve out the foundations of candent challenges gaming leisure industry will face in the forthcoming future about the "moral hazard" deeply enshrined in the breadth of AI, especially if robots are due to replace humans as casino table dealers in the realm of table games.

“…Following the latter approach would make Bicchieri's theory rather similar to its main current rival, the account of norms as clusters of normative attitudes proposed by Geoffrey Brennan et al (2010). Brennan and co-authors explicitly offer a non-reductive account, and defend it using various ingenious arguments (aimed in particular at Bicchieri's theory).…”
