Addressing the under-researched issue of weapon tolerance, the paper examines factors behind male knife and gun tolerance across four different cultures, seeking to rank them in terms of predictive power and shed light on relations between them. To this end, four regression and structural equation modelling analyses were conducted using samples from the US (n = 189), India (n = 196), England (n = 107) and Poland (n = 375). Each sample of male participants indicated their standing on several dimensions (i.e., predictors) derived from theory and related research (i.e., Psychoticism, Need for Respect, Aggressive Masculinity, Belief in Social Mobility and Doubt in Authority). All four regression models were statistically significant. The knife tolerance predictors were: Aggressive Masculinity (positive) in the US, Poland and England, Belief in Social Mobility (negative) in the US and England, Need for Respect (positive) in India and Psychoticism (positive) in Poland. The gun tolerance predictors were: Psychoticism (positive) in the US, India and Poland, Aggressive Masculinity (positive) in the US, England and Poland, and Belief in in Social Mobility (negative) in the US, Belief in Social Mobility (positive) and Doubt in Authority (negative) in Poland. The Structural Equation Weapon Tolerance Model (WTM) suggested an indirect effect for the latent factor Perceived Social Ecological Constraints via its positive relation with the latent factor Saving Face, both knife and gun tolerance were predicted by Psychoticism.
针对武器容忍度这一研究不足的问题，本文考察了四种不同文化背景下男性对刀具和枪支容忍度背后的因素，试图根据预测能力对这些因素进行排序，并阐明它们之间的关系。为此，利用来自美国（n = 189）、印度（n = 196）、英国（n = 107）和波兰（n = 375）的样本进行了四项回归分析和结构方程模型分析。每个男性参与者样本都表明了他们在从理论和相关研究中得出的几个维度（即预测因素）上的立场（即精神质、对尊重的需求、攻击性男子气概、对社会流动的信念和对权威的怀疑）。所有四个回归模型都具有统计学意义。刀具容忍度的预测因素有：美国、波兰和英国的攻击性男子气概（正向），美国和英国的对社会流动的信念（负向），印度的对尊重的需求（正向）以及波兰的精神质（正向）。枪支容忍度的预测因素有：美国、印度和波兰的精神质（正向），美国、英国和波兰的攻击性男子气概（正向），美国的对社会流动的信念（负向），波兰的对社会流动的信念（正向）和对权威的怀疑（负向）。结构方程武器容忍度模型（WTM）表明，潜在因素感知社会生态约束通过其与潜在因素保全面子的正向关系产生间接影响，刀具和枪支容忍度均由精神质预测。
