ABSTRACT

A growing literature in social and cultural psychology has examined cultures of honour primarily focusing on southern states in the United States and on Mediterranean countries of southern Europe. In this article, we review a programme of research that has extended theories of cultures of honour to an under-researched context: Turkey. We first describe research that assessed lay reports of the situations that enhance or attack a person’s honour and lay prototypes of honour. Next, we review research that built on this foundation and examined emotional implications, actual retaliatory responses, and preferences for different types of actions (e.g., attack vs. withdrawal) in the face of honour threats. We then briefly comment on our current research focused on the ways that honour threats can impede goal pursuit, on the distinction between different types of honour threats, and on acculturation processes in immigrant groups from cultures of honour. We conclude by highlighting the contributions of this programme of research to the literature on cultures of honour and discuss future directions.

摘要

越来越多的社会和文化心理学文献研究了荣誉文化，这些文化主要关注美国的南部各州和欧洲南部的地中海国家。在本文中，我们回顾了一项研究计划，该计划将荣誉文化理论扩展到了研究不足的背景下：土耳其。我们首先描述评估评估提高或攻击一个人的荣誉的情况的外行报道以及荣誉榜样的研究。接下来，我们回顾在此基础上进行的研究，并研究在面对荣誉威胁时的情感含义，实际报复反应以及对不同类型行为（例如攻击与撤退）的偏好。然后，我们简要评论我们当前的研究，重点关注荣誉威胁可能阻碍目标追求的方式，关于不同类型的荣誉威胁之间的区别，以及基于荣誉文化的移民群体的适应过程。最后，我们着重介绍该研究计划对荣誉文化文献的贡献，并讨论未来的方向。
