An open-ended DV looking at people's comments in their own words

Look at participants' open-ended answers to see how much they (men & women) make fun of the feminine men and the masculine woman.

Give the main study scenarios (Michael & Jessica), ask them to write what they think about these people in their own words.

Should I add one last question, to ask participants about what they think about Michael or Jessica? Just to explore their first impressions in their own words? I could then examine if there is any negative/positive trends in their answers looking for teasing or disparaging comments?

On the one hand, freedom of speech is presented as something on which there can be no compromise. On the other there is a view of religious sanctity that believes that there are important limits to what can be said or shown without causing, not just 'offence', but a deep moral transgression—an existential threat to one's honour, identity and sense of being in the world.

Views on Honour

Honour is a concern for reputation which includes fitting in with
- gender norms
- moral norms
- social conventions (legitimate social sanctions e.g., violating traffic laws or not paying taxes)
and it extends to one's family, friends and immediate social groups. For a person to have honour, he/she must be bestowed honour by others, and so he/she must show/prove others that he/she behaves in line with gender norms, moral norms and other social conventions.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The key element of cultures of honour that people are concerned with reputation have evolved in places where 1) a man’s resources can be thieved by other men, 2) the governing body is weak and thus cannot punish theft (historically, the herding culture operating outside of formal government). 

According the Nisbett and colleagues (e.g., Nisbett & Cohen, 1996), a system of order that commonly develops under these circumstances is the unwritten "rule of retaliation".

This is a nice sentence that I like:

I argue that current models or the development and maintenance of cultures of honor and violence can be informed by an evolutionary psychological perspective.

References

Shackelford, T. (2005). An evolutionary psychological perspective on cultures of honour. Evolutionary Psychology, 3, 381-391.

There is a nice review of previous empirical work.

"A culture of honor might describe the collective lowering of individual men's responding to insults with violence "

The author also associates the reason for why a culture of honor continues in the south may be related to 1) a culture of honor might be the output of psychological processes that evolved in response to the adaptive problem of mate retention.

Therefore, it may be interesting to see if wife infidelity is higher in the south than the north of US. Regional differences in recent wifely infidelity rates might help to account for the persistence of the southern culture of honor to the present.

A Dutch Girl's status post on facebook about presenting at EASP! Me and her apparently are at the totally opposite ends of modesty :)

Yeah, I did it!! Presented at the EASP in Amsterdam. It went well, I met several interesting people of whom I read many articles (weird experience!!), got great feedback and quite a few business cards of people who want to collaborate! Really happy I didn't listen to my inner voice saying: I can't do this now! Now off for holidays!!!

Public presentations from a cross-cultural perspective

How research presenters present! Presenters from the US/or other cultures that afford high self-esteem, confidence, action orientation, internal locus of control as beneficial, they express esteem, pride, ownership of the research and show great pride in them, compared to researchers from more collectivist-orientations. These researchers on the other hand do not express that they have done something so amazing and that something that's better than everyone else's, less competition, more humble/modesty about the work (even if they may feel that way within them). As a research, the ability to distance yourself from the research itself is definetely a wonderful quality.
