Some more discussion:
Idiosyncrasy credit[1] is a concept in social psychology that describes an individual's capacity to acceptably deviate from group expectations. Idiosyncrasy credits are increased (earned) each time an individual conforms to a group's expectations, and decreased (spent) each time an individual deviates from a group's expectations. Edwin Hollander[2] originally defined idiosyncrasy credit as "an accumulation of positively disposed impressions residing in the perceptions of relevant others; it is… the degree to which an individual may deviate from the common expectancies of the group".
(But the cited research in the Examples section seem weak, and social psychology isn't the most reliable area of psychology in the first place.)
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
