Abstract

Honor of culture is a culturally based concept that involves holding a strong defense for  the dignity and reputation on one’s family and self. This thesis focuses on the relationship between this honor of culture and gender socialization in the behavioral outcomes of college students, who are in a highly important learning phase of discovering their identity and independence from familial values. Participants were University of Central Florida (UCF) students who completed an online Qualtrics survey, which included an Honor of Culture Scale (Rodriguez Mosquera et al., 2016), Gender Role Beliefs Scale (Kerr & Holden, 1996), the Short Dark Triad (Jones and Paulhus, 2013) and the Aggression-Problem Behavior Frequency Scale (Farrell et al., 2016). Results indicated that the adherence to traditional gender roles is not related to the endorsement of honor of culture; in the same way, honor of culture endorsement did not support increased aggressive behavioral outcomes.
