“…The present studies have investigated the issue, using the social-ecological perspective (Dorjee et al, 2013), individualistic versus collectivistic cultures perspectives in the perception of honor killing (Caffaro & Schmidt, 2014), and social functional approach in psychology (Barmaki, 2019). The extant explanations suggest that retributive rage (Abu Odeh, 2010), inherent aggressive and criminal tendencies (Rahim et al, 2018), subconscious fear of incest (Kanchan et al, 2016), strong belief in honor (Roberts, 2014), and emotional need to protect one's honor and allegiance to key communal values (Barmaki, 2019) can account for honor killing.…”

Honor killing, which most frequently involves male family members killing a female relative, has a long history all over the world. Across two studies, we investigated the role of gender, culture, and moral beliefs in the perception of honor killing. In the first study, we compared the perception of honor killing in Iran (N = 146) and England (N = 144) conducting a mixed ANOVA. According to our findings in Study 1, Iranian participants, regardless of gender, attribute more responsibility to the victim, less responsibility to the assailant, and propose less severe punishment for the assailant. The same pattern of gender differences in the perception of honor killing was found in the second study except that the women attributed more responsibility to the assailant. Regarding moral beliefs, all binding values proposed by the Moral Foundation Theory (Authority, Loyalty, and Purity) predict the high responsibility attributed to the victim. These results suggest that gender and cultural differences and moral beliefs contribute significantly to shaping diverse perceptions of honor killing

Bu çalışmanın amacı Kriminal Düşünce Ölçeği Türkçe formunun psikometrik özelliklerini incelemektir. Çalışmanın örneklemi, 18 yaş ve üzerindeki, çalışmanın yapıldığı anda ya da geçmişte psikiyatrik tanı ve/veya tedavi almamış olduğunu beyan etmiş olan 295 kadın ve 332 erkek olmak üzere toplam 627 kişiden oluşmaktadır. Ölçeğin güvenilirliği Cronbach alfa katsayısının hesaplanması yöntemiyle incelenmiştir. Ölçeğin geçerliliğinin incelenmesi için açımlayıcı ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizi ile birlikte ölçüt geçerliliği yöntemi uygulanmıştır. Açımlayıcı faktör analizi sonucunda 23 maddelik ve ölçeğin özgün formuna benzer şekilde hak görme, kriminal rasyonalizasyon, güç yönelimi, merhametsizlik, meşrulaştırma/diğerlerini suçlama ve kişisel sorumsuzluk olmak üzere 6 faktörden oluşan ölçme aracına ulaşılmıştır. Doğrulayıcı faktör analizi sonucunda sınanan modelin uyum değerlerinin kabul edilebilir düzeyde olduğu saptanmıştır. Ölçeğin tümü için iç tutarlılık katsayısı α= .79 olarak, alt boyutlar arasında ise α=.50-.74 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak elde edilen bulgular, Kriminal Düşünce Ölçeği Türkçe formunun geçerlilik ve güvenirliğinin kabul edilebilir düzeyde olduğunu göstermektedir.

The present study aimed at developing a valid and reliable scale for assessing attitudes towards honour killing in Pakistan. The scale was developed in three phases; item pool generation, exploratory factor analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis. The initial item pool was generated form in-depth interviews with professionals (i.e., lawyers, journalists, psychologists, religious scholars, police officials, and social activists) and perpetrators in jail. In order to validate the initial 19 item scale, 459 adults, within the age range of 18-60 years were recruited from the Federal capital city and other cities of Punjab by using convenient sampling technique. For validation of the factor structure, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was run using Maximum Likelihood (ML) extraction method and promax rotation method. The analysis yielded two factors (affirmation and deterrents of honour killing) that accounted for 32% variance. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was carried out to validate the factor structure explored through EFA. An independent sample of 695 adults was recruited for confirmatory study. Results of CFA indicated a good model fit for the final scale comprising 17 items. The Cronbach alpha coefficients for the two factors were .79 and .61, respectively. The convergent and discriminant validity of the final scale was also determined using the Gender Role Attitude Scale (Anila & Ansari, 1992) and Extremism Scale (Gilani & Altaf, 2005.
