Further work, however, needs to be done to examine some unanswered questions. For example, the question of whether masculine and feminine honor represent gender-specific applications of moral codes could be examined more directly, by asking questions about behavior appropriate to men and women and its impact on the honor of another person who is male or female. Also, it remains to be seen what happens when different forms of honor are pitted against each other. Will all cultures still rank integrity as highly when, for example, being honest will damage the family reputation? Focusing on dilemmas rather than on situations where only one norm is active might increase the applicability of these results to actual moral behavior in difficult situations.
Integrity is most compatible with the view of an autonomous individual, whereas each of the other honor subtypes involves adherence to a social role, whether gender or family. Furthermore, the specific traits that underpin integrity—honesty and trustworthiness—are also related to fairness, which is a concern of autonomy ethics. For these reasons, integrity honor should show a connection to the autonomy moral code (Hypothesis S2).
