Research evidence and theoretical accounts of honor point to differing definitions of the construct in differing cultural contexts. The current studies address the question "What is honor?" using a prototype approach in Turkey and the Northern United States. Studies 1a/1b revealed substantial differences in the specific features generated by members of the two groups, but Studies 2 and 3 revealed cultural similarities in the underlying dimensions of self-respect, moral behavior, and social status/respect. Ratings of the centrality and personal importance of these factors were similar across the two groups, but their association with other relevant constructs differed. The tripartite nature of honor uncovered in these studies helps observers and researchers alike understand how diverse responses to situations can be attributed to honor. Inclusion of a prototype analysis into the literature on honor cultures can provide enhanced coverage of the concept that may lead to testable hypotheses and new theoretical developments.
研究证据和荣誉的理论解释表明，在不同的文化背景下，该结构的定义也存在差异。本研究使用原型方法分别在土耳其和美国北部探讨了“荣誉是什么”的问题。研究 1a/1b 揭示了两组参与者所生成的具体特征存在实质性差异，但研究 2 和 3 揭示了自我尊重、道德行为和社会地位/尊重的潜在维度在文化上的相似性。两组参与者对这些因素的中心性和个人重要性的评价相似，但它们与其他相关结构的关联存在差异。这些研究揭示了荣誉的三分结构，有助于观察者和研究人员理解为什么对不同情况的反应会归因于荣誉。将原型分析纳入荣誉文化文献中，可以更全面地涵盖这一概念，从而提出可检验的假设和新的理论发展。
