Summary/Abstract: The goal of this article is to present an approach to measuring one of the aspects of social capital, i.e. the normative aspect. The authors consider the concept of social capital and its various dimensions. Methods aimed at measuring such capital are presented and the problems associated with these approaches discussed. The advantages and disadvantages of classical approaches to quantitatively assessing norms, values and convictions are presented and discussed alongside the advantages, disadvantages and applicability of experimental economics as a tool for observing the behaviour of a study group.
