Culture of honour and the stigma of abortion
Access to safe abortion is critical for women's health, but women are stigmatised for seeking out an abortion due to social norms regarding gender roles and sexuality. This abortion stigma is likely more prevalent in U.S. cultures of honour (primarily southern and western states), where women's reputation for sexual purity is paramount to their status. To test this possibility, we examined the relationship between honour and abortion-related outc…
Effects of experimentally induced jealousy on support for feminine honor
Feminine honor norms require women to uphold a reputation for sexual purity through behaviors such as dressing modestly or maintaining virginity before marriage. While the consequences of these norms for women's health and well-being are well-documented, their socio-psychological origins remain poorly understood. The dominant account holds that feminine honor is endorsed because female infidelity threatens a male partner's honor. An alternative e…
To Honor and Defend
Understanding the factors that explain why some people are more likely to enlist in military service is an important endeavor for any nation that depends upon a voluntary military force. Three studies investigated the role of honor culture in military service. These studies assessed statewide differences in military enlistment rates (Study 1), individual differences in honor endorsement between military personnel and civilians (Study 2), and asso…
Is Honor Culture Linked With Depression
A large body of evidence indicates that U.S. honor states exhibit higher suicide rates than do dignity states. Research into one potential precipitating factor, depression, has yielded conflicting evidence, with support for an honor–depression association observed by some researchers but not by others. The present research (a) reassessed this association using more robust measures, (b) extended prior work by also examining suicidal ideation, and …
Honor Norms Predict Lower Support for Opioid Harm Reduction Policies in the U.S
Harm reduction services are empirically based strategies aimed at counteracting drug overdoses and other drug-related harms. Despite the various harms associated with heroin use as well as other drug use, the accessibility of these services varies across the United States. In this study, we explored the role honor norms might contribute to reduced support for harm reduction programs in the United States. We conducted a web-based survey of a sampl…
Modeling Student Persistence in Online Education
This study examined the factors related to student persistence in online education programs. Using a model of persistence, we conducted five confirmatory factor analytic models to evaluate scales that measured the factors of interest: locus of control, self-efficacy, task value, satisfaction, and persistence. We also conducted and compared two structural equation models to investigate the relationships among these factors, along with achievement.…

Invincible honor
The seeds of change
INTRODUCTION: This study examines the impact of Outdoor Adventure Education (OAE) on developing grit and resilience in adolescents. Focusing on a United States-based sample collected in 2015, it explores how antecedent variables such as age and gender influence these outcomes, integrating the PERMA model of well-being to investigate underlying mechanisms. METHODS: The research employed a cross-sectional design with 350 participants aged 14-18 fro…
Honor Endorsement and Increased Firearm Purchasing Behavior and Intentions During the Covid-19 Pandemic
The surge in firearm sales from the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic have been linked to increases in firearm violence, which is of public concern given that having firearms in one's home is associated with increased risk for domestic violence and suicide. Consistent with pre-pandemic trends, individuals tended to purchase firearms for self-protection during COVID-19. Prior work indicates that protective firearm ownership is motivated not only by p…
Perceived reputation moderates the link between honor concerns and depressive symptoms
Prior research has shown that U.S. cultures of honor have higher rates of depression and suicide. While links between honor endorsement and suicide have been established in the literature, a direct test of the primary mechanism underlying this association (reputation damage leading to depression) has not yet been tested. The current study sought to address whether shifts in perceived reputation might be associated with higher levels of depression…
Damaged Masculinity
Prior research has established factors that contribute to the likelihood that men seek out prostate cancer screenings. The current study addresses how endorsing the ideology found in cultures of honor may serve as a barrier to prostate cancer screenings. Two studies were conducted which analyzed the impact of stigma on men’s decisions to seek out prostate cancer screenings (Study 1) as well as how prostate cancer deaths may be higher in the cultu…
Masculine honor endorsement is linked with stigmatization of men who have been sexually assaulted
Prior research has suggested that men may be particularly reticent to disclose their sexual assault status due to fears of subsequent stigmatization from peers. In particular, men disclosing sexual assault have reported being called “closet homosexuals” or being stigmatized for not being “strong enough” to fight off an attacker. The present study examined how beliefs about masculine honor, which center around men being viewed as strong, fearless,…

Water-resource stress on the Spanish Costa del Sol
The Costa del Sol, in common with many Mediterranean (and similar) coastal areas, is having to face increasing water-resource stress as a result of global warming and land-use change, coupled with extremely high peak water demand resulting from large tourist numbers and summer climatic factors. An assessment is presented of current water-supply provision, possible measures to enhance the resilience of the water-supply system (focusing on improved…
Securing the critical role of groundwater for the resilient water-supply of urban Africa
The provision of secure water-supplies for the rapidly expanding cities of sub-Saharan Africa experiencing climate-change stress will be one of the great infrastructure and environmental challenges of the next 20–50 years. Most African cities are blessed with usable groundwater, and some with the presence of major aquifers, but urban water utilities will need to take a more proactive approach to groundwater resource management and quality protect…
Honor and Seeking Mental Health Services
Prior research has indicated the extent to which living in a culture of honor can elicit aggressive behaviors in response to insult. Recent work has extended this research to the realm of mental health, with research demonstrating that honor endorsement is linked with decreased utilization of mental health resources due to social concerns that the stigma of psychological help-seeking will reflect poorly on one’s reputation. However, measurements …

Re-reading Liberalism
Religious Liberalism in colonial New England is famously hard to pin down. The Liberals' public, occasional sermons, however, point to their core commitments if due attention is paid to overall context and to the various sermonic conventions these productions gleefully flout. What emerges from this analysis is not covert heterodoxy but a principled critique of the very idea of orthodoxy
The Return of the Surreal
This article argues that the time is ripe to reacquaint sociology and surrealism. Taking inspiration from surrealism’s emphasis on making the ordinary strange through bizarre, lively and sometimes haunting methods might result in a more poetic and playful sociology. The article looks at how this might be applied in practice through drawing on a variety of examples of social research that share some of the tenets of surrealism, not least the latte…

The UK government's defeat before the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) 1 in Hirst v United Kingdom (No. 2) with respect to its legislation disenfranchising convicted prisoners, and the government's recaltriant response to that finding, has highlighted the various political and legal views on the retention of prisoners’ rights. The disenfranchisement of prisoners obviously raises issues of participative democracy, but whether convicted priso…

In his time, Stephen Foster's works were considered suitable for the blackface minstrel stage, the parlors of the most self-consciously genteel, and sometimes both. However originally designated (e.g. Ethiopian song, plantation melody,' ballad, or merely song), they are variously comic and ebullient, sentimental and refined. On Dear Friends and Gentle Hearts, the ensemblein-residence at the Stephen Foster Memorial of the University of Pittsburgh …
