In economics “Normative Econ” often means axiom based approach. State “reasonable conditions on preferences and production functions” derive necessary implications. See… most of books like Mas Colell et al.
In common parlance, maybe in psych, I’ve hear “normative behaviour” used to mean something like “typical, normal, socially acceptable behaviour”
Can you tell me where “normative behaviour” and “typical behaviour” have been conflated because I’m very sure that’s a big no no even in social/psychological sciences
Some confusion in that:

Just remembering I have seen it but maybe it was in common parlance but not on social science.
