“…Western cultures tend to value justice and conceptualize transgressions in terms of injustices. However, other cultures might be more oriented toward honor‐shame or fear‐power (Hesselgrave, 2002). McDonald and Fine (2013) suggest that “there is some evidence of shame culture in Ghana”, but strong Christian influences (see Central Intelligence Agency, 2020) have skewed morality more toward justice and guilt.…”

How children experience forgiveness within peer relationships is unknown among children in West Africa. In this study, we sought to understand the contributing factors and influences of forgiveness among children in Ghana for peer‐to‐peer offenses. We conducted a qualitative study on 25 participants (between the ages of 12 and 15 years) in Accra, Ghana. Thematic analysis was utilized to identify themes from semi‐structured interview transcripts. Unique themes centered around the perception that forgiveness ensures relationship continuation, and that a major source of learning about forgiveness is via a religious institution. Despite a common theme that an offense undermines trust in a relationship, most participants perceived that forgiveness was the preferred option for handling the offense. Results suggest that early adolescents can benefit by learning the skill of forgiveness.

“…Describing the regulative function of social expectations, it can be highlighted that there is one mechanism that can stop a person from crossing the border of normsemotions. In cultural anthropology, three emotional components are commonly used to classify different cultures: fear society (or culture of fear), shame society (also culture of shame or culture of honor and dignity) and guilt society (or culture of guilt) (Hesselgrave, 2002). Fear, guilt and shame are emotions that arise when an individual does not conform to norms, thus acting as a regulator of his or her behavior.…”

PurposeThis research is devoted to the study of social expectations, and the purpose of this paper is to elaborate the instrument of their measurement based on the main spheres of influence.Design/methodology/approachThe research was conducted using a mixed methodology: a series of semistructured interviews and a survey. In the first stage, 15 interviews, and in the second phase, both online and offline surveys (306 participants) were conducted to test the social expectations scale designed. The qualitative phase highlighted the most important areas of social expectations, identifying how they can influence individual behavior. Afterward, the scale of social expectations was developed, and its prognostic function was confirmed.FindingsIt was revealed that expectations influence goal setting, motivation, public opinion orientation, emotional experience and decision-making.Originality/valueThis study is an attempt to construct a measurement tool for social expectations and close the gap for many studies that used the concept without operationalization.
