Measuring Honor Concern: Differentiating and Applying Honor Concern to Predict Victim Blame, Parenting Practices, Masculinity Norms, and Substance Use

Sunday, May 25, 2025 · Washington, DC

Oral · Social

Honor concern—self-worth based in social reputation—is argued to be comprised of different domains (e.g., group honor; masculine honor). We unpack domains of honor by examining theoretically relevant predictors and outcomes, illustrating how people’s honor concern predicts victim blaming, parenting practices, traditional masculinity norms, and substance use.
