This article uses the concept of social death to explore the experiences and motivations of perpetrators of honor killings in light of social psychological evidence. This analysis then seeks an explanation for some honor killing cases where ostracism or extreme social exclusion of the perpetrator has preceded the murder. I argue that in some honor killing cases, extreme rejection and exclusion may lead the individual to feel that he or she has no choice but to seek validation or approval through killing to be re-included and recognized by the community and family.

可以用社会死亡的概念来解释荣誉杀人吗？重新诠释社会心理证据

本文使用社会死亡的概念，根据社会心理证据来探索名誉杀人的经验和动机。然后，该分析寻求对某些在杀人之前先实行排斥或极端社会排斥肇事者的荣誉杀人案的解释。我认为，在某些杀害名誉的案件中，极端的拒绝和排斥可能会使个人感到，他或她别无选择，只能通过杀人寻求确认或认可，以重新获得社区和家庭的认可。
