Your Definition
The study of the unofficial, uncodified, but powerful ways that societies and groups enforce norms and punish deviance. This includes gossip, ridicule, ostracism, shaming, social approval/disapproval, and the internalization of norms (guilt, shame). It's the "soft" but often more pervasive and psychologically potent architecture of control, operating in families, workplaces, and communities.
