Answer to Question 1

Answer: Injunctive norm: A norm that defines what behaviors are typically approved or disapproved. Descriptive norm: A norm that defines what behaviors are typically performed. They are different in that the former describes what should or should not be done, whereas the latter describes what most people actually do.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Injunctive norm: A norm that defines what behaviors are typically approved or disapproved. If an injunctive norm against littering is made salient to a person who litters, he/she may decide to refrain from littering.
