A popular empirical technique to measure norms uses coordination games to elicit what subjects in an experiment consider appropriate behavior in a given situation (Krupka and Weber in J Eur Econ Assoc 11(3):495–524, 2013). The Krupka–Weber method works under the assumption that subjects use their normative expectations to solve the coordination game. However, subjects might use alternative focal points to coordinate, in which case the method may deliver distorted measurements of the social norm. We test the vulnerability of the Krupka–Weber method to the presence of alternative salient focal points in two series of experiments with more than 3000 subjects. We find that the method is robust, especially when there are clear normative expectations about what constitutes appropriate behavior.

一项流行的用于衡量规范的经验技术使用协调博弈来得出实验中哪些对象在给定情况下认为适当的行为（Krupka和Weber in J Eur Econ Assoc 11（3）：495–524，2013）。Krupka–Weber方法在假设受试者使用他们的规范期望来解决协调博弈的前提下工作。但是，受试者可能会使用其他焦点进行协调，在这种情况下，该方法可能会传递扭曲的社会规范度量。我们在超过3000个主题的两个系列实验中测试了Krupka-Weber方法在存在替代显着性焦点时的脆弱性。我们发现该方法是鲁棒的，尤其是当对构成适当行为的标准有明确的期望时。
