Normative historical change refers to changes that occur across whole societies or cultures, such as changes in social norms, technology, or demographic makeup. The immigration and other factors that have led to changes in the cultural makeup of the U.S. population are examples of normative historical change. Nonnormative multidirectional change refers to changes that are not expected or typical, and can be in any direction (positive or negative). Nonnormative life events refer to unexpected or atypical events that can have significant impacts on individuals, such as the loss of a loved one or a major illness. Nonnormative demographic change is not a commonly used term in developmental psychology.
