SHORT STUDY IDEA - RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SELF-ESTEEM AND MASC. & FEM. HONOUR IN TURKEY AND ENGLAND

Dear Ayse,

I found a new honour scale here, and I attached it here for you as you may want to keep it too.

Some study ideas came to my mind after being inspired of short one study papers. For instance, the paper by Sheida Novin and colleagues talk about self-esteem and honour, but they haven't measured masculine and feminine honour which they are point out in their future research suggestions. We have data on this already from the Mass Test data, and I did some correlational analysis on this with White-British participants, which had quite interesting results.

*** Results with White-UK/Irish participants (We measured integrity, family, feminine and masculine honour concerns with Patricia's scale:
- Interestingly, masculine honour and self-esteem correlated negatively for males, but positive for females. 
- No other Honour measure correlated with self-esteem for males. For females, integrity honour and family honour were also positive correlated.

I ran the correlations also with non-White British/Irish and non-White European, and other non-White participants, this data had mainly Indian, Pakistani, Bengladeshi, Asian and Black participants, and even though the number of males were so low (N = 9), masculine, family and integrity honour correlated very strongly with self-esteem scale for males, and feminine honour correlated significantly for females. 

I thought we could collect data from Turkey too, and maybe we could publish a short paper out of this. I think the negative significant correlation with self-esteem and masculine honour for white-British participants is interesting.

I had one more idea, to look at different appraisals of shame in a low-honour and a high-honour culture. That idea came from Gausel and Leach's study published on GPIR special issue on Social Image.

Maybe these ideas can stay in the drawer for now, but I thought how easy and quick it would be to publish one-study papers. Neat and focused with short Intro's and Discussions :)

See you tomorrow at our lab meeting.

Best,
Pelin
