Since the seminal publication of Nisbett and Cohen in 1996 linking the higher rates of violence in the Southern United States compared with the Northern United States to a "culture of honor," researchers have paid increasing attention to conceptualizing honor and identifying its underlying psychological mechanisms and its behavioral outcomes. The concern for reputation and other values embedded in culture of honor act as potential sociocultural risk factors for several major social problems in the United States. The aim of this article is to review the recent research on culture of honor and to discuss its societal implications by focusing on 3 pressing social problems: intimate partner aggression, school violence, and reluctance to seek mental health care. Relative to Whites in northern states, White populations in the southern and western states (considered to have cultures of honor) have higher levels of intimate partner violence, more school shootings, and are less likely to seek mental health care. We also briefly review the incidence of these issues among American Latinx groups, another culture of honor. We suggest ways that the scientific findings on culture of honor can enhance prevention and intervention efforts in education, health, and mental health care settings.

荣誉文化理论和研究对从业者和预防研究人员的影响。

自从 Nisbett 和 Cohen 于 1996 年将美国南部与美国北部相比更高的暴力发生率与“荣誉文化”联系起来的开创性出版物以来，研究人员越来越关注将荣誉概念化并确定其潜在的心理机制和其行为结果。对荣誉文化中嵌入的声誉和其他价值观的关注是美国几个主要社会问题的潜在社会文化风险因素。本文的目的是回顾最近关于荣誉文化的研究，并通过关注 3 个紧迫的社会问题来讨论其社会影响：亲密伴侣的攻击、校园暴力和不愿寻求心理健康护理。相对于北部各州的白人，南部和西部各州（被认为拥有荣誉文化）的白人人口的亲密伴侣暴力程度更高，校园枪击事件更多，并且不太可能寻求心理健康护理。我们还简要回顾了美国拉丁裔群体（另一种荣誉文化）中这些问题的发生率。我们建议有关荣誉文化的科学发现可以如何加强教育、健康和心理保健环境中的预防和干预工作。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA，保留所有权利）。我们建议有关荣誉文化的科学发现可以如何加强教育、健康和心理保健环境中的预防和干预工作。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA，保留所有权利）。我们建议有关荣誉文化的科学发现可以如何加强教育、健康和心理保健环境中的预防和干预工作。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA，保留所有权利）。
