“…Our findings have already been utilized in social psychological research on honour with Turkish samples in different immigration contexts (e.g., Shafa et al, 2015;van Osch et al, 2013) to examine applied questions such as interpersonal conflict management or emotional acculturation.…”

“…It could be argued that Turkey is similar to other Middle Eastern (e.g., Qatar) and North African (e.g., Egypt) cultural contexts (e.g., Aslani et al, 2016;Gelfand et al, 2015), but TurkeyÕs secular outlook (at least until recently) and strong political, economic, and cultural ties with the West make Turkey different from these (and other Middle Eastern) contexts, as well. Finally, individuals residing in Turkey differ in educational attainment, occupational status, family and friendship ties and religious and gender-role values from their immigrant counterparts in Europe (e.g., in Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium; see Guveli et al, 2016) who have participated in honour-related research (e.g., Rodriguez Mosquera, Fischer, Manstead, & Zaalberg, 2008, Shafa, Harinck, Ellemers, & Beeersma, 2014Shafa, Harinck, Ellemers, & Beersma, 2015;van Osch, Breugelmans, Zeelenberg, & Boluk, 2013). It is against this unique background that we chose to conduct our programme of research, comparing the Turkish context with northern American 1 cultural settings.…”

“…Violence is deemed as legitimate in circumstances in which a person's honour is at stake, for instance following an insult (Shafa, Harinck, Ellemers, & Beersma, 2015). In other situations, individuals in honour cultures may even have stronger negative attitudes towards aggression compared to people from other cultures (Cohen & Nisbett, 1994).…”

Italian mafia-type groups exert governance over the community. To do so, they must engage in contact with community members. Previous research indicates that individuals’ endorsement of masculine honour values is associated with more frequent contact with members of criminal organisations (COs). The present research examines the relationship between masculine honour and both positive and negative contact, as well as the potential implications of such contact. Structural equation modelling of survey data ( N = 327) revealed that masculine honour was associated with positive but not negative contact with COs’ members. Positive contact was, in turn, associated with a stronger tendency to see COs as matching the ideals of honour (romanticisation), and lower perceived threat. In contrast, negative contact was associated with stronger perceived threat from COs’ presence. Finally, romanticisation and lower perceived threat were associated with lower intentions to engage in social activism against COs. Results support the idea that cultural values of masculine honour make the presence of COs in society more acceptable and are an important predictor of contact with this type of group.

“…It has been shown that a strong commitment to norms of honour heightens anger (Maitner, Mackie, Pauketat, & Smith, 2017) and the impulse to defend oneself (Maitner et al, 2017). Especially in the context of a prevention focus (Shafa, Harinck, Ellemers, & Beersma, 2015), norms of honour trigger violent action schemata (Arsovska & Verduyn, 2007;Baker, Gregware, & Cassidy, 1999;Kulwicki, 2002) and the legitimization of violence (Baldry, Pagliaro, & Porcaro, 2013;Caffaro, Ferraris, & Schmidt, 2014;Caffaro, Mulas, & Schmidt, 2016;Hayes & Lee, 2005). Consequently, norms of honour also affect behaviour by enhancing aggressive reactions (Cohen et al, 1996;van Osch et al, 2013) and violent offences (Baier & Pfeiffer, 2008;Enzmann, Brettfeld, & Wetzels, 2004;Lahlah, van der Knaap, Bogaerts, & Lens, 2013).…”

Present evidence regarding widely used risk assessment tools suggests that such tools may have inferior predictive validity for offenders with a migration background (MB), especially from Turkey and Arab countries. Based on a thorough literature review, we investigated additional risk and protective factors via a postdictive correlational study design. We assumed that delinquency is induced by discrimination, a conflict of values, norms of honour, a disapproval of sexual self-determination, and antisemitism. In contrast, we expected social support to diminish the risk of criminal behaviour. The sampling took place inside and outside prison, where adult men with an Arab or Turkish MB (n = 140) filled out a questionnaire. Individual norms of honour (r = .27 −.41), antisemitism (r = .31−.37), and a disapproval of sexual selfdetermination (r = .23−.26) were positively correlated with delinquency. The best predictor was the individual's perception of friends' norms of honour (r = .34−.56). However, only a few significant correlations were found for a perception of individual discrimination (r = .08−.14) and an internal conflict of values (r = .11−.15), whereas global discrimination (r = .20−.29) clearly emerged as a risk factor for delinquency. Social support by nondelinquent peers could be confirmed as having a protective influence against delinquency (r=−.25−.27). Theoretical and practical implications for risk assessment are discussed.
