Abstract
Following a critical appraisal of the conceptual treatment of norms in sociological literature, a typology of norms is presented. The typology treats collective evaluations of behavior, collective expectations of behavior, and reactions of behavior as the basic normative dimensions. These dimensions generate a total of nineteen types of norms, four of which are possible null classes.
