The present study examines attitudes towards honor crimes amongst a sample of 856 ninth grade students (mean age = 14.6, SD = 0.56) from 14 schools in Amman, Jordan. Descriptive findings suggest that about 40% of boys and 20% of girls believe that killing a daughter, sister, or wife who has dishonored the family can be justified. A number of theoretically meaningful predictors were examined: Findings suggest that attitudes in support of honor killings are more likely amongst adolescents who have collectivist and patriarchal world views, believe in the importance of female chastity amongst adolescents, and morally neutralize aggressive behavior in general. Findings for parental harsh discipline are mixed: While the father's harsh discipline is predictive of honor killing attitudes, the mother's behavior is not. Furthermore, support for honor killing is stronger amongst male adolescents and adolescents for low education backgrounds. After controlling for other factors religion and the intensity of religious beliefs are not associated with support for honor killings. Models were tested separately for male and female respondents and suggested no systematic differences in predictors. Limitations and implications are discussed.
本研究调查了 856 名来自约旦安曼 14 所学校的九年级学生（平均年龄=14.6，标准差=0.56）对荣誉犯罪的态度。描述性发现表明，约 40%的男孩和 20%的女孩认为杀害侮辱家庭的女儿、姐妹或妻子是可以被证明合理的。研究还检验了一些具有理论意义的预测因素：研究结果表明，支持荣誉杀人的态度在具有集体主义和父权世界观、认为青少年贞操重要以及在道德上普遍淡化攻击行为的青少年中更为常见。对于父母严厉纪律的研究结果喜忧参半：虽然父亲的严厉纪律可以预测荣誉杀人的态度，但母亲的行为却不能。此外，荣誉杀人的支持在男性青少年和教育背景较低的青少年中更为强烈。在控制了其他因素后，宗教和宗教信仰的强度与支持荣誉杀人无关。模型分别针对男性和女性受访者进行了测试，没有发现预测因素存在系统差异。讨论了局限性和影响。
