    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Current causal theories aim to incorporate the effect of\nstatistical and prescriptive norms on causal judgements, stating\nthat norm-violating actions are judged as more causal than\nnorm-conforming ones. In this paper, we present two\nexperiments that undermine this claim, showing that people\nattribute increased causality to agents who conform to the norm\nof frequent behaviour. Furthermore, we find that the time point\nat which a moral norm is introduced does not make a difference\nto causal attributions, but that the frequency of a norm violation\nfurther accentuates its causal rating. Because these findings\npresent a challenge to current norm theories of causation, we\nargue for an extended counterfactual model of causal\nattribution.",
