Is it okay to kiss on a bus? Some societies are more strict about social norms—they are more tight—whereas others are more loose. In this episode, Joseph Shaules, Torhild Liane Haars Skarnes and Sanne Bosma discuss research into tightness and looseness. We compare the rankings of different countries, including some we find surprising. We argue that the key to navigating foreign norms is learning the values behind them, and we hear stories from Emre Seven, Yuto Aki, Vanessa Eisenberg, Hashini Madarasinge, Albert Mhangami and Ishita Ray.
