Objetivo: se analiza la relación entre la aversión a la desigualdad y normas sociales de carácter conformista e inconformista, para explorar su influencia en las decisiones ante la distribución de recursos entre adolescentes costarricenses. Metodología: este estudio cuasiexperimental transversal, realizado con una muestra costarricense (N = 285, M edad = 13.4 años, DT edad = .64, 51.4% mujeres), se enfocó en la influencia de normas sociales conformista e inconformista en la toma de decisiones frente a la desigualdad, en un juego de interdependencia económica (juego del ultimátum -JdU-) en versión de pago por trabajo. Además, se exploró la relación entre estas normas y las orientaciones culturales individualista-colectivista horizontal y vertical, las variables sociodemográficas y la aversión a la desigualdad. Resultados: se encontró que la inducción de normas no tuvo un efecto significativo en las decisiones de los participantes en el JdU, así como una relación negativa entre la cantidad de habitantes del hogar y la aversión a la desigualdad. Conclusiones: estos resultados sugieren que la aversión a la desigualdad y la preferencia por la igualdad son más fuertes que la influencia situacional de normas sociales de carácter conformista e inconformista en la toma de decisiones frente a la desigualdad.
