Purpose

Children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) experience particularly high rates of abuse and maltreatment, although research on cultural predictors is currently lacking. The current research sought to explore whether culture of honor norms may be linked with greater support of potentially harmful parenting practices (e.g., forceful stopping of ASD behaviors) as a reputation maintenance strategy.

Method

Three studies were conducted (total N = 1,002) assessing relationships between levels of honor endorsement (the extent to which individuals endorse norms found in cultures of honor) and various manifestations of harmful parenting practices for children with ASD.

Results

Results show that honor endorsement is linked with support for potentially harmful parenting practices, ASD stigma, and perceived damage to parental identity if a (hypothetical) child were diagnosed with ASD (Study 1). Furthermore, these relationships appear to be similar across diagnostic and social contexts (Study 2), and individuals who grew up in a U.S. honor culture report experiencing maltreatment at higher rates than their non-honor state counterparts (Study 3).

Conclusion

Findings suggest that honor endorsement may be an important variable to consider when seeking to understand the predictors of parenting behaviors and treatment decisions which are known to be harmful for children with ASD.

尽管目前缺乏文化预测因素的研究，但被诊断为自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）的儿童遭受虐待和虐待的比例尤其高。目前的研究试图探索荣誉规范文化是否可能与作为声誉维护策略的潜在有害养育行为（例如，强制停止ASD行为）的更多支持有关。方法进行了三项研究（共1002项），评估了荣誉认可水平（个人认可荣誉文化规范的程度）与ASD儿童各种有害育儿行为表现之间的关系。结果表明，如果一个（假设的）孩子被诊断为ASD，荣誉背书与支持潜在有害的养育方式、ASD耻辱和对父母身份的感知损害有关（研究1）。此外，这些关系在诊断和社会背景下似乎是相似的（研究2）。在美国荣誉文化中长大的个体遭受虐待的比率高于非荣誉国家的同龄人（研究3）。结论研究结果表明，在寻求了解已知对ASD儿童有害的养育行为和治疗决策的预测因素时，荣誉背书可能是一个重要的变量。

Grounded in the Theory of Normative Social Behavior (TNSB), this study examined how perceptions of static and dynamic norms and multidimensional outcome expectations influence anti-littering intentions in Ghana, based on in-person surveys with 527 participants. Results showed that neither static nor dynamic norms exerted significant main effects on behavioral intentions. Instead, significant interactions emerged between descriptive and injunctive norms, both static and dynamic, highlighting the moderating effects of injunctive norms on the relationship between descriptive norms and intentions. Among outcome expectations, perceived health and self-related benefits were significant predictors of anti-littering intentions. Additionally, self-related outcome expectations moderated the relationship between static descriptive norms and intentions. These findings contribute to testing the TNSB in an understudied African context by demonstrating how normative influences operate in a distinctive sociocultural setting. They also suggest that, in certain contexts, environmental communication campaigns may be more effective when they leverage both static and dynamic normative messages and emphasize personal and health benefits.

本研究以规范社会行为理论（TNSB）为基础，基于对527名参与者的面对面调查，研究了对静态和动态规范以及多维结果预期的看法如何影响加纳的反乱扔垃圾意图。结果表明，静态规范和动态规范对行为意向均没有显著的主效应。相反，描述性规范和禁令性规范之间出现了显著的相互作用，无论是静态的还是动态的，突出了禁令性规范对描述性规范和意图之间关系的调节作用。在结果预期中，感知健康和自我相关利益是反乱丢垃圾意图的显著预测因子。此外，自我相关的结果预期调节了静态描述性规范和意图之间的关系。这些发现通过展示规范性影响如何在独特的社会文化环境中发挥作用，有助于在研究不足的非洲背景下测试TNSB。它们还表明，在某些情况下，如果环境宣传运动同时利用静态和动态的规范信息并强调个人和健康的好处，可能会更有效。

Drawing on the Significance Quest Theory (Kruglanski et al., 2022), we used the Honor Dictionary (Gelfand et al., 2015) in a word frequency textual analysis (Pennebaker et al., 2007) to investigate extreme rhetoric. We thus conducted two studies. The first, investigating the political context, compared speeches of fascist dictator Benito Mussolini (1918–1945, N = 284) with those of democratic Presidents of the Italian Republic (1949–2006, N = 901). The second, focused on lone-actors terrorists, examined texts from the Extremist Manifesto Database (EMD, Grigoryan et al., 2023) and compared writings by terrorists driven by political ideologies (left & right-wing, ethno-nationalists, and anti-government, N = 65) with those of terrorists motivated by religious ideologies (N = 23). Notably, we hypothesized and found that, compared to democratic rhetoric, fascist rhetoric contained (a) more words expressing feelings of lost honor and (b) fewer words reflecting gaining honor. Moreover, as expected, we found that lone-actor religious terrorists' rhetoric, compared to lone-actor political terrorists, contained more words expressing feelings of lost honor and fewer words expressing honor gain. Notably, this is the first research to use the Honor Dictionary to linguistically measure the activation of the need for significance, demonstrating a strong correlation with the endorsement of extreme ideologies. Further, our research supports the hypothesis that extreme rhetoric reflects–and aims to induce–significance loss feelings.

借鉴意义探索理论（Kruglanski et al., 2022），我们在词频文本分析（Pennebaker et al., 2007）中使用了荣誉词典（Gelfand et al., 2015）来研究极端修辞。因此，我们进行了两项研究。第一，调查政治背景，比较法西斯独裁者贝尼托·墨索里尼（1918-1945,N = 284）和意大利共和国民主总统（1949-2006,N = 901）的演讲。第二项研究关注的是独行恐怖分子，研究了极端主义宣言数据库（EMD, Grigoryan et al., 2023）中的文本，并比较了受政治意识形态(left &；右翼分子、民族主义者和反政府分子（N = 65），以及受宗教意识形态驱使的恐怖分子（N = 23）。值得注意的是，我们假设并发现，与民主修辞相比，法西斯修辞包含(a)更多表达失去荣誉的词语，(b)更少反映获得荣誉的词语。此外，正如预期的那样，我们发现，与政治恐怖分子相比，独行侠宗教恐怖分子的修辞中表达失去荣誉的词汇更多，表达荣誉获得的词汇更少。值得注意的是，这是第一次使用《荣誉词典》从语言学上衡量意义需求的激活，证明了它与极端意识形态的支持有很强的相关性。此外，我们的研究支持极端修辞反映并旨在诱发意义丧失情绪的假设。

Although group identification, efficacy, and injustice appraisals are well-established predictors of collective action support, contextual factors are rarely examined. We address this oversight in preregistered study by testing whether country-level norms moderate the relationships identity, anger at injustice, and efficacy have with support for pro-immigrant solidarity collective action using data from 22 countries (N = 4615). Given that cultures that emphasize honor and face prioritize harmony and social cohesion over conflict, we expected that honor codes and face orientation would attenuate the links identity, injustice, and efficacy have with collective action support. Results showed that identification, efficacy, and anger at injustice were linked to collective action intentions in most countries, but honor codes attenuated the relationship between anger and collective action intentions. We further discuss the implications and limitations of these results in light of cross-cultural studies of pro-immigrant attitudes and actions. Overall, our findings complement research on predictors of collective action and the dual-chamber model of collective action by presenting potential cultural constraints.

虽然群体认同、有效性和不公正评价是公认的集体行动支持的预测因素，但很少审查背景因素。我们通过使用来自22个国家（N = 4615）的数据，测试国家层面的规范是否调节了认同、对不公正的愤怒和效力与支持支持移民团结集体行动之间的关系，从而解决了这一疏忽问题。鉴于强调荣誉和面子的文化优先考虑和谐和社会凝聚力而不是冲突，我们预计荣誉准则和面子取向会减弱身份、不公正和效力与集体行动支持之间的联系。结果表明，在大多数国家，对不公正的认同、效力和愤怒与集体行动意图有关，但荣誉守则减弱了愤怒与集体行动意图之间的关系。我们进一步讨论了这些结果在支持移民的态度和行动的跨文化研究的影响和局限性。总的来说，我们的发现通过提出潜在的文化约束，补充了对集体行动预测因素和集体行动双室模型的研究。

Historical psychology is an emerging area of research aimed at understanding how historical processes influence the mind, including people’s beliefs, values, and attitudes. As an introduction to this special issue on historical psychology, we review the origins, current pressing questions, and the future of this new field. Our review of the field’s development underscores how historical psychology has been a longstanding topic in psychological science, even though it has only recently emerged as a formal area of inquiry. Our review of pressing questions situates each of the papers in the present special issue within broader lines of research concerning how economic development shapes values, how and why intergroup attitudes change over time, and how contact and conflict shape behavioral outcomes. In our section on the future, we call for more theory-driven research in historical psychology, more recognition of path-dependent cultural change, and historical analysis of a broader range of psychological variables beyond attitudes and beliefs. As historical psychology continues to mature, we look ahead to a richer and more rigorous understanding how the mind has changed over time.

历史心理学是一个新兴的研究领域，旨在了解历史进程如何影响人们的思想，包括人们的信仰、价值观和态度。作为这期历史心理学特刊的导论，我们回顾了这一新领域的起源、当前紧迫的问题和未来。我们对该领域发展的回顾强调了历史心理学在心理科学中是一个长期存在的话题，尽管它只是最近才成为一个正式的研究领域。我们对紧迫问题的回顾将本期特刊中的每篇论文置于更广泛的研究范围内，这些研究涉及经济发展如何塑造价值观，群体间态度如何以及为什么随着时间的推移而改变，以及接触和冲突如何塑造行为结果。在我们关于未来的章节中，我们呼吁在历史心理学中进行更多理论驱动的研究，更多地认识到路径依赖的文化变化，并对态度和信仰之外的更广泛的心理变量进行历史分析。随着历史心理学的不断成熟，我们期待着更丰富、更严谨的理解思维是如何随着时间而变化的。

Research on workplace waste separation remains fragmented, often focusing either on socio-contextual variables from organizational literature or on socio-cognitive mechanisms from behavioral decision-making models. This study aimed to explore the determinants of workplace separation of plastic, glass, and aluminum by developing a novel, comprehensive model that integrates the theory of planned behavior (TPB) with two prominent constructs from organizational research: environmentally specific transformational leadership (ETFL) and green organizational climate (GOC). The hypothesized model conceptualized GOC as an antecedent of the proximal determinants of intention and ETFL as an antecedent of GOC. Moreover, ETFL was hypothesized to shape behavior through the sequential mediation of GOC and TPB’s constructs. A two-wave prospective design was employed using online surveys administered to a convenience sample of 711 Italian working adults. At T1, the participants completed self-reported measures of ETFL, GOC, and TPB’s variables. One month later, at T2, the participants reported their waste separation behavior over the previous month. The relational model, tested using structural equation modeling (SEM), explained 48.2 % and 36.4 % of variance in intention and behavior, respectively. All hypothesized direct effects were supported, except for the paths from injunctive norm to intention and from perceived behavioral control to behavior. Two sequential mediation pathways were identified: one linking ETFL to behavior via GOC, descriptive norm, and intention; the other via GOC, perceived behavioral control, and intention. The results underscore the central role of leaders in translating organizational environmental goals into employees’ daily actions, thereby offering practical implications for waste management in workplace settings.

关于工作场所废物分类的研究仍然支离破碎，通常集中在组织文献中的社会背景变量或行为决策模型中的社会认知机制上。本研究旨在探讨塑料、玻璃和铝在工作场所分离的决定因素，通过开发一个新的综合模型，该模型将计划行为理论（TPB）与组织研究中的两个重要概念：环境特定型变革型领导（ETFL）和绿色组织气候（GOC）相结合。假设模型将GOC概念化为意图的近端决定因素的前因式，而将ETFL概念化为GOC的前因式。此外，ETFL被假设通过GOC和TPB构念的顺序中介来塑造行为。采用两波前瞻性设计，对711名意大利成年工作人员进行在线调查。在T1时，参与者完成了ETFL、GOC和TPB变量的自我报告测量。一个月后，在T2，参与者报告了他们在前一个月的垃圾分类行为。使用结构方程模型（SEM）检验的关系模型分别解释了48.2%和36.4%的意向和行为方差。除了从命令规范到意图和从感知行为控制到行为的路径外，所有假设的直接效应都得到了支持。我们发现了两种顺序的中介途径：一种是通过GOC、描述性规范和意图将ETFL与行为联系起来；另一种是通过GOC、感知行为控制和意图。研究结果强调了领导者在将组织环境目标转化为员工日常行动方面的核心作用，从而为工作场所的废物管理提供了实际意义。

Individual private-sphere approaches to sustainable behavior have been a core research interest for the last decades and have demonstrated to be of importance for a sustainability transformation. This perspective of private-sphere behavior has increasingly been enriched by a focus on community-based approaches. In this context, a particular interest is given to sustainable communities (e.g., eco-villages, community-supported agricultures). Sustainable communities are often ascribed a transformative potential to pave the way to a more sustainable future. However, the complexity of individuals’ decisions to join a sustainable community has only rarely been addressed in previous research. Taking a process-oriented approach, 28 narrative interviews with members actively involved in sustainable communities were conducted to gain an in-depth understanding of pathways leading individuals to join these communities. The interviews were analyzed based on key elements of narratives including life experiences across different developmental stages, personal motives, and transformative experiences. Different systematic configurations could be identified. These were integrated into different pathways to a sustainable community: first, seeing the sustainable community as the next logical step in an increasingly sustainable lifestyle, second, wishing to experience a sense of community and solidarity, and third, a search for alternatives to mainstream societal structures. Fostering engagement in sustainable communities and other forms of sustainability-related action could have the potential to upscale these approaches to contribute to socio-ecological transition processes.

在过去的几十年里，个人私人领域对可持续行为的研究一直是一个核心研究兴趣，并已被证明对可持续转型至关重要。这种对私人领域行为的看法因注重以社区为基础的方法而日益丰富。在这方面，特别关注可持续社区（例如，生态村、社区支助农业）。可持续社区通常被认为具有变革潜力，可以为更可持续的未来铺平道路。然而，在以往的研究中，个人加入可持续社区的决策的复杂性很少得到解决。采用以过程为导向的方法，对积极参与可持续社区的成员进行了28次叙述性访谈，以深入了解导致个人加入这些社区的途径。这些访谈是根据叙述的关键要素进行分析的，包括不同发展阶段的生活经历、个人动机和变革经历。可以识别不同的系统配置。这些被整合到通往可持续社区的不同途径中：首先，将可持续社区视为日益可持续的生活方式的下一个合乎逻辑的步骤，其次，希望体验社区和团结的感觉，第三，寻找主流社会结构的替代方案。促进参与可持续社区和其他形式的与可持续性有关的行动，有可能使这些办法升级，为社会生态过渡进程作出贡献。

Interdependence, a mutual dependence between entities, is a key concept to understand interactions occurring in social and natural environments. We argue that understanding social and natural phenomena in terms of interdependence could predict children's pro-environmental behaviors (PEBs). The existing literature reveals a lack of studies promoting PEBs among children. We first reviewed the literature on interdependence to demonstrate why it is a theoretically viable construct to foster PEBs in children. Second, we identified a lack of instruments to measure children's preference for explanations in terms of interdependence. Thus, in study 1, we developed and administered a 9-item vignette-based scale combining pictures and everyday situations with various explanations, the Preference for Explanations in Terms of Interdependence scale—PETI to 351 Swiss pupils (10-12 years old). Exploratory factor analysis revealed a one-dimensional structure. Analyses showed satisfying nomological and predictive validity (on self-reported behaviors). Study 2 (N = 96) was conducted at recreational areas and aimed at extending the predictive validity of the PETI scale to actual behaviors. Contrary to our expectations, results revealed no direct effect of the PETI score, but a significant main effect of age, and a significant interaction effect between PETI and age showing that PETI was more positively associated to PEBs for older (10-13 years old) than for younger (6-9 years old) children. Reliability analyses suggested that the PETI scale is better suited for children aged 10 and over. We discuss the utility of the PETI scale in studying the relationship between children's understanding of interdependence and the endorsement of PEBs.

相互依存是指实体之间的相互依赖，是理解社会和自然环境中发生的相互作用的一个关键概念。我们认为，从相互依存的角度来理解社会和自然现象，可以预测儿童的亲环境行为（PEBs）。现有文献显示，缺乏促进儿童亲环境行为的研究。我们首先回顾了关于相互依存的文献，以说明为什么相互依存是一个理论上可行的促进儿童亲环境行为的概念。其次，我们发现缺乏测量儿童对相互依赖解释的偏好的工具。因此，在研究 1 中，我们开发并使用了一个 9 个项目的基于小故事的量表，该量表结合了各种解释的图片和日常生活情境，即 "相互依赖解释偏好量表"（Preference for Explanations in terms of Interdependence scale-PETI），对 351 名瑞士小学生（10-12 岁）进行了测量。探索性因子分析显示该量表具有一维结构。分析表明，该量表（对自我报告的行为）具有令人满意的名义有效性和预测有效性。研究 2（N = 96）在娱乐场所进行，旨在将 PETI 量表的预测有效性扩展到实际行为。与我们的预期相反，结果显示 PETI 分数没有直接影响，但年龄具有显著的主效应，PETI 与年龄之间具有显著的交互效应，表明年龄较大（10-13 岁）的儿童比年龄较小（6-9 岁）的儿童的 PETI 与 PEB 更有正相关性。可靠性分析表明，PETI 量表更适合 10 岁及以上儿童使用。我们讨论了 PETI 量表在研究儿童对相互依存的理解与对 PEB 的认可之间的关系方面的实用性。

Humanizing animals does not reduce blatant dehumanization by children or adults 动物人性化并不能减少儿童或成人公然的非人化行为

Blatantly likening humans to animals is associated with discrimination and hostility. The power of dehumanizing animal metaphors is thought to lie in the belief that animals are inferior to humans and do not deserve full moral concern. Previous work suggests that perceiving a narrower divide between humans and animals encourages the expansion of moral concern and reduces subtle dehumanization. Here we described animals as possessing human-like mental states, and tested if this manipulation would extend to the reduction of blatant dehumanization of an outgroup. Results demonstrate both children (5–12 years of age) and adults perceived animals as more similar to humans when animals were attributed feelings, intentions and beliefs. However, this manipulation did not reduce blatant dehumanization in either age group. These results suggest that subtle and blatant dehumanization may require distinct intervention strategies, and imply potential differences in their psychological mechanisms.

公然将人类比作动物与歧视和敌意有关。非人化动物隐喻的力量被认为在于人们认为动物比人低等，不值得全面的道德关怀。以往的研究表明，如果认为人与动物之间的鸿沟较窄，就会鼓励扩大道德关怀，减少微妙的非人化。在这里，我们将动物描述为拥有与人类相似的心理状态，并测试了这一操作是否会扩展到减少对外群的公然非人化。结果表明，当动物被赋予感情、意图和信念时，儿童（5-12 岁）和成人都会认为动物与人类更相似。然而，这种操作并没有减少任何一个年龄组中的明显非人化现象。这些结果表明，微妙的非人化和明显的非人化可能需要不同的干预策略，这也意味着它们的心理机制可能存在差异。
