Comment on â€œThe Spreading of Disorderâ€

Keizer et al. (2008) explore disorderly settings linked to a process of spreading norm violation.

This comment addresses problematic areas in their studies and provides new empirical evidence of a cross-norm inhibition effect that deals with such criticism.
