The Honor of a Leader
Across three studies, we investigated how honor norms are associated with leadership prototypes. An archival, national-level study and an individual-level correlational study both linked honor norms to tough, reputation-conscious leadership and preferences for male leaders. A pre-registered quasi-experiment refined our understanding of these associations. Participants “designed” an ideal leader in either the presence or absence of intergroup conf…
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…
On Knowing Who You Want to Become
The present research introduces the aspirational self-clarity (ASC) scale, which assesses the extent to which people’s conception of their desired future self is certain, well-defined, and consistently held. Three studies examined the ASC’s structure and temporal stability (Study 1, N = 600), nomological net (Study 2, N = 413), and malleability following a purpose-related intervention (Study 3, N = 129). Results show the ASC is a functionally uni…
Leadership as Development
Developing others is a core component of effective leadership in many leadership theories. However, prior research has focused primarily on observable developmental behaviors, leaving a gap in understanding the self-concepts that may underlie and sustain such behaviors. We extend current theory by suggesting that developing others can be a part of leaders’ core identity that impacts followers. We create and validate the developmental self-concept…
Confessing dishonor
Beyond the Dichotomy
Honor cultures are characterized by a heightened sensitivity to reputation threats and strong expectations for the defense of honor. U.S. states vary in the extent to which they express the cultural norms of honor, but researchers have frequently relied upon a dichotomous classification that differentiates states as honor or dignity states. We created and validated a continuous, six-item index of honor norms and values across all U.S. states (Stu…
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 …
Diachronic reconstruction of palaeoclimates and diet through stable isotopes (δ13C and δ18O) and 2D geometric morphometrics from cave bear (Ursus spelaeus) dentition
Preliminary Validation of Two Brief Measures of Masculine and Feminine Honor Endorsement
Researchers have developed numerous individual differences measures to assess people’s endorsement of honor ideology (i.e., beliefs regarding the importance of honor and reputation) with most ranging from 12-36 items in length. Despite having great utility, the length of these measures magnifies the costs associated with survey research, especially in research contexts that use large, representative samples (e.g., health surveys). The present stu…

“Different Dialects”
Breath-centered virtual mind-body medicine reduces Covid-related stress in women healthcare workers of the Regional Integrated Support for Education in Northern Ireland
Among RISE NI healthcare workers affected by COVID-related stress, participation in the BBMIC significantly reduced scores for Perceived Stress, Stress Overload, and Exhaustion. EFI Revitalization and Tranquility scores significantly improved. More than 60% of participants reported moderate to very strong improvements in 22 indicators of psychophysiological state, e.g., tension, mood, sleep, mental focus, anger, connectedness, awareness, hopefuln…
Romantic Attraction and Insensitivity to Aggressive Cues Among Honor-Oriented Women
Expectations for behavior that might influence early-stage attraction in romantic relationships are likely to be influenced by cultural values, such as those found in cultures of honor. Honor-based ideals emphasize reputation maintenance and create powerful expectations for the behaviors of men and women. This study sought to examine the role of masculine honor norms in how college women in the southern United States respond to behavioral cues pr…
How Do We Do This? Distance Learning in Physical Education — Part 2
Distance learning is something many physical educators never thought they would have to do, given the practical and philosophical contradictions inherent in teaching and learning movement-based content through a computer. Yet, the COVID-19 pandemic has forced most physical education teachers to transition to distance learning modalities. Questions abound regarding the maintenance of quality physical education within the generally unfamiliar onlin…
Regional Differences in the Human Toll from Tornadoes
Previously published claims of large regional (northern vs southern states) differences in risks of fatality associated with tornadoes in the United States are reexamined. This new study extends earlier claims to include 1) data from a much longer time frame, 2) injuries as well as fatalities, and 3) more precise estimates of meteorological features of tornado events (specifically, a precise calculation of daytime vs nighttime and pathlength). Th…
The cross and the sword
Honor ideology and religion possess a number of commonalities, yet little research to date has examined whether and how the two relate to each other. Such a relationship is of special interest because despite their commonalities, potential exists for both synergy and conflict between the two ideological systems. Two studies examine associations between honor ideology and religiosity among American Christians. In Study 1, we identified modest asso…
Migration and Remittances
In this title, the editors draw together key articles by leading scholars which investigate the significance and role of remittances in economic and social development. They examine topics including reflections on methodology, the motives and determinants of remittances, their socio-economic impacts (especially at the household level), the role of community organisations and social remittances, and the broad social and cultural impacts of remitta…
Revisiting the Effects of Remittances on Bank Credit
We investigate the effect of remittances on bank credit in developing countries. Understanding this link is important in view of the growing relevance of remittances as a source of external finance and of the beneficial impact that financial intermediation is likely to have on economic growth. Our contribution is twofold. First, we present a theoretical model of bank credit in a hypothetical remittances‐receiving country where: (1) the banking se…
An Introduction to the General Monotone Model with Application to Two Problematic Data Sets
We argue that the mismatch between data and analytical methods, along with common practices for dealing with “messy” data, can lead to inaccurate conclusions. Specifically, using previously published data on racial bias and culture of honor, we show that manifest effects, and therefore theoretical conclusions, are highly dependent on how researchers decide to handle extreme scores and nonlinearities when data are analyzed with traditional approac…
Gender, status, and psychiatric labels
Illness Labels and Social Distance
The authors examine a key proposition in the modified labeling theory—that a psychiatric label increases vulnerability to negative evaluation and social rejection—using an experimental design wherein female participants interact with a female teammate over a computer. The authors also evaluate a hypothesis derived from the disease-avoidance account of disgust by examining this same process for a nonpsychiatric illness: food poisoning. In addition…
My Country, My Self
Honor endorsement might predict an intertwining of personal and national identities that facilitates taking country-level threats personally. If true, this could help explain why honor endorsement predicts support for defensive reactions to national provocations. In a sample of US college students (Study 1) and adults (Study 2), a latent honor variable predicted (1) personalizing national threats, and (2) defensive responses to illegal immigratio…
Measuring remittances through surveys
The accurate measurement of migrant remittances is central to understanding both the dynamics and the consequences of migration. Empirical studies rely on survey data about remittances, which are difficult to collect in a precise and reliable form
Sharing Norm Pressures and Community Remittances
Migrants are often subject to social pressures to remit beyond their own households, to share the benefits of migration with the wider community in their home country; these are ‘community remittances’. We hypothesise that community sharing norm pressures are stronger in locations with more extensive home community networks. We also postulate that the responsiveness of remittances to sharing pressures is subject to diminishing returns, attributab…
Migrants' Remittances, Poverty and Social Protection in the South Pacific
Small island states are increasingly characterised by the growing role of international migration and remittances as components of national and household incomes. Recent household‐level survey data on migration and remittances in two Pacific island states, Fiji and Tonga, demonstrate that where formal social protection systems are largely absent, migration and remittances can perform a similar function informally, contributing significantly to de…
Stigma on my mind
A burden of proof
Three studies explored gender differences in mathematics performance by investigating the possibility that men and women have different concerns when they take standardized math tests, and that when these gender-specific performance concerns are made relevant, performance may suffer. Results of 3 studies supported these hypotheses. In Study 1, women who believed a math test would indicate whether they were especially weak in math performed worse …
Estimating remittance functions for Pacific Island Migrants
The migration of doctors and nurses from South Pacific Island Nations
The Global Flea Market
Some common assumptions about the form and use of migrants' remittances in the South Pacific are examined and questioned in the light of information from a micro-economic study of one group of remittance recipients in the flea market of Nuku'alofa, the capital of the Kingdom of Tonga. The findings of this study suggest that economic analysis and policy recommendations based on the existing macro-economic data on recorded remittances and other eco…

A Model of Migrants' Remittances with Human Capital Investment and Intrafamilial Transfers
This study analyzes data on migrants' remittances using a two-period theory of intergenerational transfers based on an informal, intrafamilial loan arrangement using “weak altruism,” a behavior between “strong altruism” and pure self-interest. The model provides an integrated theory of migrants' remittances, human capital investment decisions, and intrafamilial transfers applicable to low-income countries with no official pension schemes and impe…

Migration and Remittances in the South Pacific
For more than a quarter of a century there has been substantial emigration from the smaller island states of the Pacific to metropolitan fringe states, mainly the United States, New Zealand and Australia. Migration reduced unemployment in the island states and remittances have contributed to raised living standards. There has been some shift of remittances from consumption to investment. Communal remittances are of greater significance than in ot…
The illusion of external agency
People typically underestimate their capacity to generate satisfaction with future outcomes. When people experience such self-generated satisfaction, they may mistakenly conclude that it was caused by an influential, insightful, and benevolent external agent. In three laboratory experiments, participants who were allowed to generate satisfaction with their outcomes were especially likely to conclude that an external agent had subliminally influen…
Occupation-specific analysis of migration and remittance behaviour
Most previous empirical studies of migration and remittances ignored possible differences among occupational categories of migrants. Where human capital investment decisions and occupational choices are influenced by perceived prospects for international migration, internationally tradable occupations such as nursing are likely to attract individuals with particular attributes and with a stronger propensity to migrate. We argue that this can also…

How Responsive are Remittances to Recipients’ Welfare? Evidence from Fiji
Using data from a customized household survey in Fiji, we assess the extent to which remittances are motivated by the migrants’ commitment to provide social protection to their families back home. We test this hypothesis by estimating econometrically the responsiveness of migrants’ remittances to the perceived financial need of recipients. We extend a mixed‐motives model of private transfers, incorporating household‐specific, subjectively assesse…
Hidden Foreign Exchange Flows
This article shows how sample survey data from both the remitting and receiving ends can be used to derive estimates of total remittances by migrants from Tonga and Western Samoa, including those sent through unofficial channels. Such survey data can provide a wealth of information on the variety of forms and channels of remittances used by migrants, from which it is possible to assess the quantitative and qualitative significance of these hidden…
Putting the "affirm" into affirmative action
Two studies explored the relation between academic performance and preferential selection. In Study 1, female participants were led to believe that they had been selected to be leaders in a team problem-solving task because of their gender, because of their gender and ability, or at random. Results showed that women who believed they had been selected because of their gender performed significantly worse on a subsequent problem-solving test than …
Why Don't They Revolt? 'Invisible Income' as a Neglected Dimension of Runciman's Relative Deprivation Thesis
This article reopens a currently unfashionable sociological concern. Increasingly available evidence testifying to the existence of various forms of 'fiddling', and to the size of the thus manufactured 'hidden economy', is used to suggest a novel answer to the old question: why do the low-paid acquiesce in an inegalitarian income structure? It is suggested that the 'invisible income ' individuals receive from their part in the 'hidden economy' cr…

Personality and Ethical Decision-Making in Research
THIS STUDY EXAMINED BASIC PERSONALITY characteristics, narcissism, and cynicism as predictors of ethical decision-making among graduate students training for careers in the sciences. Participants completed individual difference measures along with a scenario-based ethical decision-making measure that captures the complex, multifaceted nature of ethical decision-making in scientific research. The results revealed that narcissism and cynicism (indi…

A New Technique in Seniority Administration
Since formal seniority policies are established to provide orderly and equitable administration of layoffs, recalls, and promotions, it is incongruous, as is remarked in this article, that they should be the source of frequent disputes. Two difficulties are involved in seniority programs: (1) too simple a policy may be inadequate to meet the complexities of the plant situation, but (2) a more complicated policy may be difficult to administer. Thi…
Use of Aptitude Tests in Manning a New Plant
Under most circumstances, the volume of hiring at any given time involves only a fractional addition to the plant work force and the criteria for selection and placement are usually well established. Hiring an entire force of substantial size and in the absence of empirically tested criteria for selection and placement presents a problem of greater magnitude and complexity, particularly when the jobs require a high order of skill. This article de…

From Consumption to Savings? Interpreting Tongan and Western Samoan Sample Survey Data on Remittances
This article examines the findings of an analysis of sample survey data on the uses and determinants of remittances among Tongan and Western Samoan households. These surveys were undertaken at both the receiving and remitting ends of the process, and bring forth important evidence that remittances are not used exclusively for consumption purposes and play an important role in contributing to both savings and investment in the migrant sending coun…

Migrants’ intentions to return home and capital transfers
This article examines the attributes of migrants from the Pacific island states of Tonga and Samoa living in Australia to assess the extent to which return migrants could contribute to the human and physical capital stock of the migrant‐sending countries. It also examines the impact of intention to return on remittances and asset accumulation. The study finds that very few migrants plan to return home and very little evidence that those who plan …

Measuring Individual Differences in the Tendency to Forgive
Four studies examine the construct validity of the Tendency to Forgive Scale (TTF), a brief measure of dispositional forgiveness. Study 1 showed that romantic partners' ratings of targets converged with targets' self-ratings, and Study 2 demonstrated that higher scores on the TTF were associated with lower offense accessibility. Study 3 examined the TTF's relation to self-reported depression symptoms, both independent of and interacting with atti…
Self-Enhancement Tendencies Among People With High Explicit Self-Esteem
Consistent with recent research on initials-preferences, we assumed that people's preferences for their initials reflect an implicit form of self-esteem that buffers them against challenges to their self-worth. Accordingly, we proposed that high self-esteem persons who demonstrated weak initials-preferences would be particularly likely to engage in compensatory self-enhancement activities. Results of two studies revealed converging support for th…

Stigma Consciousness and the Race Gap in College Academic Achievement
Stereotyped individuals vary in how chronically self-conscious they are of their stigmatized status, a variable called stigma consciousness. The present study examined whether stigma consciousness was negatively related to academic achievement in college for academically stigmatized (Black and Hispanic) students, but not for academically non-stigmatized (White and Asian) students. Results revealed that stigmatized students who were high in stigma…
