AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This study is concerned with ideal and practical norms of behavior and the means by which the society enforces conformity on the individual. Fried fully describes the methods of inquiry upon which his analysis depends, and includes detailed reports of a projective test which he designed and administered to several individuals. Fried gives a general background of the social organization and activities, then presents several cases of interpersonal conflict and their resolution. His main thesis is that behavioral norms which are flexibly interpreted in practical daily situations tend to become rigid legal norms when conflicts demand formal public sanctions.
