In general, normative means related to an evaluative standard. In human societies, normativity is the phenomenon of designating certain actions or outcomes as good or desirable or permissible and others as bad or unwanted or impermissible. A norm in this normative sense means a standard for conduct or outcome assessment or judgment. Normative is sometimes also used, somewhat confusingly, to mean a descriptive standard: doing what is normally done, or what is expected to be done by most others in practice. In this sense, a norm is not evaluative, a basis for judging behavior or results; it is simply a fact or observation, without judgment of behavior or results. Many researchers in this field attempt to limit the use of the term normative to the evaluative sense and refer to the description of behavior and results as positive, descriptive, predictive, or empirical. Normative has specialized meanings in various academic disciplines such as philosophy, social sciences, and law. Normative means, in most contexts, 'relating to an assessment or value judgment.' Normative proposals seek to analyze some object or course of action.
