Akers' theory uses the term normative definitions to refer to group attitudes and rules of conduct regarding what is right or wrong. Discriminative stimuli refers to events or situations that signal the availability of reinforcement or punishment, ecological norms refer to patterns of behavior that are shaped by the physical and social environment, and neutralizing stimuli are cognitive or emotional justifications that individuals use to temporarily suspend their usual moral or ethical standards.
