Multiagent system research tries to obtain predictability of social systems while preserving autonomy at the level of the individual agents. In this article, social theory is called upon to propose a solution to this version of the micro-macro problem. The use of norms and learning of norms is one possible solution. An implementation of norms and normative learning is proposed and evaluated by using simulation studies and measures for the internalizing and spreading of norms. The results of the simulations provide food for thought and further research. Modeling the norm set of the group in accordance with the individual mind-set in absence of other information (i.e., at the beginning of the group-forming process) proves to be a more fruitful starting point than a random set
