Cultural Norms[edit | edit source]

The cultural norms (CN) outcomes concentrate the expected behaviours from different cultures.

There are three cultural norms outcomes:

  • CN1: Define the terms “culture” and “cultural norms”
  • CN2: Discuss the use of compliance techniques.
  • CN3: Evaluate research on conformity to group norms.

Note that any example responses are not necessarily worth full marks, but exist simply to provide an idea of how an example looks.



CN1[edit | edit source]

Define the terms “culture” and “cultural norms”

Although the IB could technically ask this question individually as an 8-mark, this has never happened before, nor is it ever likely to happen. Instead, this question will be asked in conjunction with CN2.
