Major life transitions force people to renegotiate local attitude norms

Evidence

Second, norms operate on a societal level; norms change over time and different “subcultures” create different local norms that can make competing demands on individuals when they cross those subcultures. When people make major life transitions, whether at school or at work, when they become married, parents, or empty-nesters, when they move to a new neighborhood, area, or country, the norms about what attitudes are proper are likely to change, and adapting to these new norms is a significant challenge of everyday life. — , Rudman, Laurie A - On the Nature of…, 1936
