Scholars not only of social psychology are already aware of how genetics might influence human behavior, which can be verified through literature, where it is already attributed to the biological bases a significant percentage of the causes and behavioral predispositions. Thus, from an ex post facto research, this paper has the main objective of verify the genetic basis of honor concern, human values and personality, and the influence of genetic inheritance on each of these constructs. It is believed that honor, for having stronger cultural aspects, will receive less influence from genetics, and personality, that presents the greatest influence from genetics, as it is inherently more constituted by biological factors than the social ones. Human values, then, would be located at an intermediate. Thus, this dissertation is based on the Functionalist Theory of Human Values, through the Basic Value Survey, as well as the Culture of Honour Scale and the Big Five Inventory to measure honor and personality, respectively, and a sociodemographic questionnaire. For this study, the sample consisted in 115 pairs of twins, 77 monozygotic (67%) and 38 dizygotic (33%), a total sample of 230 people. Among monozygotic, most were female (78%) with a mean age of 24.4 (SD = 6.85). In dizygotic, most also said to be female (71.1%) with a mean age of 21.9 (SD = 4.31). The results were divided into three sections. In the first one, means and correlations between pairs of twins were tested, in what concerns to each one of the factors of the three scales. It was observed that except for the correlations of social honor (r = .26, p < .05), female honor (r = .51, p < .001) and the normative subfunction (r = .52, p < .001), in both means and correlations between type of twin and construct, the monozygotic presented behaviors more similar than dizygotic twins. Then, estimates of heritability of behavior were calculated, noting that honor (M = .24, SD = .44) presented the lowest average, being followed by human values (M = .56, SD = .23) and personality (M = .63, SD = .19). Finally, using structural equation modeling, the fit indices (chi-square, AIC and RMSEA) for the models of genetic inheritance were tested. The results confirmed the model for all types of honor, for the subfunctions of excitement, existence and interactive and personality traits of neuroticism, openness to change and agreeableness. Furthermore, the hierarchy of importance of genetic inheritance among the three studied constructs was partially confirmed [honor (M = .18, SD = .19), values (M = .39, SD = .08) and personality (M = .39, SD = .62)]. Thus, it could be verified that all constructs have some genetic influence. Finally, as expected, the hierarchy of biological bases between them was confirmed, besides being evidenced the greatest similarity among monozygotic twins, as the results for this group were significantly higher than those presented by dizygotic twins, pointing to an effective genetic basis of human behavior. / Quando são estimados os efeitos da influência dos fatores ambientais e genéticos nos seres humanos, busca-se compreender até que ponto a diferença de cada pessoa, em relação a seus comportamentos, pode ser atribuída a cada um destes fatores, isolada e conjuntamente. Os estudiosos não só da psicologia social já estão atentos a como a genética pode vir a influenciar o comportamento humano, o que pode ser verificado por meio da literatura, onde já se atribui às bases biológicas uma porcentagem significativa das causas e predisposições do comportamento. Deste modo, partindo de uma pesquisa ex post facto, a presente dissertação tem como principal objetivo verificar as bases genéticas da preocupação com a honra, dos valores humanos e da personalidade, avaliando a influência da hereditariedade genética sobre cada um destes construtos. Pensa-se que a honra, por ter aspectos culturais mais enraizados, apresente menor influência advinda da genética, sendo a personalidade o construto que apresentará maior influência da mesma, por esta ser constituída inerentemente por fatores mais biológicos do que sociais. Os valores humanos, por sua vez, se situariam em um intermédio. Assim, nesta dissertação, é utilizada a Teoria Funcionalista dos Valores, por meio do Questionário de Valores Básicos, bem como a Escala de Preocupação com a Honra e o Inventário dos Cinco Grandes Fatores da Personalidade para mensurar honra e personalidade, respectivamente, além de um questionário sociodemográfico. Contou-se com a participação de 115 pares de gêmeos, sendo 77 monozigóticos (67%) e 38 dizigóticos (33%), totalizando uma amostra de 230 pessoas. Dentre os monozigóticos, a maioria foi do sexo feminino (78%), com idade média de 24,4 (DP = 6,85). Nos dizigóticos, a maioria também declarou ser do sexo feminino (71,1%), com idade média de 21,9 (DP = 4,31). Os resultados foram divididos em três seções. Na primeira, foram examinadas médias e correlações entre os pares de gêmeos, acerca de cada um dos fatores das escalas utilizadas. Foi observado que, salvo as correlações de honra social (r = 0,26; p < 0,05), honra feminina (r = 0,51; p < 0,001) e da subfunção normativa (r = 0,52; p < 0,001), tanto nas médias como correlações entre zigoticidade e construto, os monozigóticos apresentaram-se com comportamentos mais similares do que os dizigóticos. Em seguida, foram calculadas estimativas de hereditariedade do comportamento, observando-se que a menor média foi de honra (M = 0,24; DP = 0,44), seguida dos valores humanos (M = 0,56; DP = 0,23) e personalidade (M = 0,63; DP = 0,19). Por fim, por meio de modelagens por equações estruturais, foram avaliados os índices de ajuste (qui-quadrado, AIC e RMSEA) dos modelos de hereditariedade. Os resultados demonstraram confirmação do modelo para todos os tipos da honra, para as subfunções valorativas de experimentação, existência e interativa e para os traços de personalidade de neuroticismo, abertura à mudança e amabilidade. Além disso, confirmou-se parcialmente a hierarquia de importância da hereditariedade dos genes entre os três construtos estudados [honra (M = 0,18; DP = 0,19), valores (M = 0,39; DP = 0,08) e personalidade (M = 0,39; DP = 0,62)]. Deste modo, pode-se verificar que todos os construtos apresentam alguma influência genética. Ademais, como era esperado, comprovou-se a hierarquia das bases biológicas entre eles, além de ficar evidenciada a maior semelhança entre os gêmeos monozigóticos, já que os resultados em relação a estes foram significativamente superiores àqueles apresentados pelos dizigóticos, apontando para uma efetiva base genética do comportamento humano.

The standards of conduct that lead someone to be recognized as honorable vary by culture, social class, economic, age and gender. The research aimed to understand the Social Representations (RS) of honor for adolescents from low income included in apprenticeship training. Twenty-two young people were interviewed, 11 girls and 11 boys aged between 15 and 17 years, participants of the program "Adolescent Apprentice." The script for structured interview was divided into two parts: 1) socio-demographic data and open questions about motivations and perceptions of change after entering the program, 2) open questions about the social representations of men and women honorable, knowledge and existence of people honorable, importance of honor, situations of loss and harm to the honor. The interviews had duration of 40 minutes on average, were recorded and transcribed. The content of the interviews were separated by gender, subject to content analysis and organized into tables grouped in five thematic groups: 1) socio demographic data; 2) motivations for entering the program; 3) RS of honor male and female; 4) RS of people honored; 5) perceptions of change after entering the program of apprenticeship. The results indicate that the motivations for entering the professional learning are similar between genders, but the girls have like a predominant and unanimous reason the professional growth and the boys have a set of motivations: professional growth, to assist in family income, independence and encouragement of parents. A comparison of RS of honor between genders shows that there are attributes in common such as honesty, work and perseverance, and differences like a 1) moral sexual double, for women very hard and for men permissive; 2) the socio-centric aspects in the family: the naturalization of ethics of care for women and the role of primary provider and protector family for men. The interviewees consider like honorable only people close to them, and the most cited, in descending order, were: family [father, mother and brothers]; extensive family [grandparents and aunts], girlfriend and friends [more old and the same age]. About the changes after entering the program, 21 young people reported positive changes as professional growth, acquisition of social skills, independence, approve from parents and colleagues and improvement of family relations. Only one mentioned the negative aspects as tiredness and lack of time. It was concluded that the main element in RS of honor is the work and the ethical values that are relevant to adolescents are present in the daily practice of social group where they are inserted. It was also noted that the honor is represented as a values built through overcoming the difficulties experienced. The RS of honor are also formed by other elements, some more associated with the modern social organization, as the approval of women in the labor market and social achievements that have achieved in recent decades, but also have traditional elements such as RS of women and men honorable based on sexual morality and the sexual division of labor. Interventions are necessary with this public, including in the program of professional learning, aimed at modification of these concepts so that these young people have experiences of gender relations more egalitarian / Entende-se por honra o nexo entre os valores da sociedade e a vontade do indivíduo de se apropriar deles, ser reconhecido pelo grupo social e alcançar posição socialmente diferenciada. Os padrões de conduta que levam alguém a ser reconhecido como honrado variam segundo cultura, classe social/econômica, idade e gênero. Objetivou-se compreender as Representações Sociais (RS) de honra para adolescentes de classes populares inseridos em aprendizagem profissional. Entrevistou-se 22 jovens, 11 meninas e 11 meninos, com idades entre 15 e 17 anos, participantes do Programa Adolescente Aprendiz . O roteiro de entrevista estruturado dividiu-se em duas partes: 1)dados sociodemográficos e perguntas sobre motivações e percepção de mudança após entrada no programa; 2)questões sobre as RS de mulheres e homens honradas(os), conhecimento de pessoas honradas, situações de perda e ofensa à honra. O conteúdo das entrevistas foi submetido à análise de conteúdo e organizado por gênero em cinco blocos temáticos: 1)dados sociodemográficos; 2)motivações para entrada no Programa; 3)RS de honra masculina e feminina; 4)RS de pessoas honradas; 5)percepções de mudanças após entrada no Programa. Os resultados indicam que, como motivo predominante e unânime para inserção no Programa as meninas apontam o crescimento profissional e os meninos apresentam um conjunto de motivações que incluem crescimento profissional, possibilidade de auxiliar na renda familiar, independência e incentivo dos pais. A comparação das RS de honra entre gêneros mostra, em comum, atributos individuais como honestidade, trabalho e perseverança, e diferenças referentes a 1)dupla moral sexual, rigorosa para mulheres e permissiva para homens e 2)aspectos sócio-centrados referentes à família: a naturalização da ética do cuidado para mulheres e do papel de provedor primário e protetor familiar para homens. As(os) participantes consideraram honradas apenas as pessoas próximas do convívio social, sendo os mais citados, por ordem decrescente, os seguintes: família nuclear [pai, mãe e irmãos]; família extensa [avós e tias(os)]; namorada e amigos. Sobre mudanças após a entrada no programa, 21 jovens mencionaram modificações positivas como crescimento profissional, aquisição de habilidades sociais, independência, reconhecimento de pais e colegas e melhoria do relacionamento familiar. Somente uma mencionou aspectos negativos, como cansaço e a falta de tempo. Concluiu-se que o elemento de destaque nas RS de honra é o trabalho e que os valores éticos relevantes para os adolescentes estão presentes na prática cotidiana do grupo social onde estão inseridos. Verificou-se também que a honra é representada como um valor construído através da superação das dificuldades vividas. As RS de honra são constituídas ainda por outros elementos, alguns mais associados à organização social moderna, como a aprovação das mulheres no mercado de trabalho e das conquistas sociais que alcançaram nas últimas décadas, mas também apresentam elementos tradicionais como RS de mulheres e homens honrados pautadas na dupla moral sexual e na divisão sexual do trabalho. Fazem-se necessárias intervenções junto a esse público, inclusive no espaço de aprendizagem, com vistas à modificação desses conceitos para que esses jovens possam vivenciar relações de gênero mais igualitárias

A dissertação analisa as relações entre a honra e a escravidão na América Portuguesa. Procura compreender como a propriedade, a exploração e a boa administração dos escravos deram origem a uma nova acepção de honra, gerada a partir de uma relação interpessoal fundada na concentração máxima de poderes nas mãos do senhor e na destituição de todos os privilégios, direitos e poderes dos escravos. Como sentimento intrínseco ou valorização externa, de sua origem em Portugal medieval até o Antigo Regime, a honra foi se adaptando e se moldando aos interesses, aos valores e às concepções político-sociais dos mais variados grupos. Esses múltiplos significados correntes em Portugal, em todos os seus componentes potencialmente instáveis e dinâmicos, atravessaram o Atlântico entre o final do século XVI e meados do XVIII e passaram a figurar nas obras dos diversos letrados coloniais que, em suas reflexões sobre as relações de gênero, classe e raça apontavam a honra como um princípio fundamental na organização da sociedade colonial. / The dissertation analyzes the relationships between honor and slavery in Portuguese America. It tries to understand how the ownership, the exploration and the good management of slaves originated a new meaning of honor, produced by an interpersonal relationship grounded in the maximum concentration of powers on the masters side and in the deprivation of all privileges, rights and powers on the slaves\' side. As an intrinsic feeling or public valuation, and from its medieval origins to the Old Regime Portugal the honor was adapted to and shaped by the interests, values and political-social conceptions of the most varied groups. Those multiples meanings currents in Portugal in all their potentially unstable and dynamic components crossed the Atlantic between the end of the XVIth century XVI and the first half of the XVIIIth century, being present in the works of the several colonial men of letters who in their reflections on gender, class, and race relations pointed the honor as a fundamental principle of colonial society.

The aim of this study is the analysis of social concepts of honor and identity in Paul’s letter to the Philippians. In the first chapter, the research problem is formulated and the appropriate methodology, which could address the issue under investigation, is chosen. It was observed, that in the social studies of the New Testament texts, the key analytical categories – honor, identity and (social) values, – as well as the correlation between them, were not properly defined. At the same time, the text of the letter to the Philippians demonstrates that to aspire for honor is not totally rejected within Christian community (1:20; 2:29; 3:14). The discourse analysis (discovery of social patterns embedded in the text) was taken as main methodological approach; clarifying of social concepts and text analysis were main tools used to test the hypothesis: In his letter to the Philippians, Paul does not argue to reject honor as a social value, yet he promotes a new identity and new source of honor; aspiration to honor within one’s group remains the same for non-Christians and for “heavenly society.” In the second chapter, the main terminology is defined. So, “value” is an often non-verbalized, invisible conception, which determines one’s understanding of the desirable or rationality. The same values can have different embodiments in different cultures; the same values can be shared by different groups. Identity is based on the visible manifestations of a culture; people of different identities can share the same values. Honor is a positive evaluation of one’s behavior; it is very significant for every collectivistic society. The source of honor is at the same time the source of identity: the one whose opinion matters, whose approval is valuable is the one with whom a person associates/identifies him/herself. In the third chapter, the language of identity in the letter to the Philippians is analyzed. Paul pays a lot of attention to his readers’ new identity “in Christ.” He accentuates their distance from the non-members of the group (negative identity); he insists on their unity, mutual support, and call to leave aside any inner quarrel or competitiveness in order to concentrate on the survival and development of the “in-Christ” group. His own example of changed identity demonstrates that Christ gives Paul both a sense of belonging and a sense of worth. Strong orientation of the members of the Christian commune to their group reflects the common dependence of an individual on his/hew group in collectivist societies. In the fourth chapter, the issue of honor in the text of Philippians is investigated. The Christological hymn (Phil 2:6-11) and its context presents the only appropriate way of behavior and hence, gaining honor within the “in-Christ” community: God is the only honor-bestower; one must stay loyal to the community and obedient to its leaders despite suffering and death. Paul’s account of his own experience demonstrates that he is anxious about honor, yet he seeks it exclusively in terms of the “in-Christ” group: God is the only source of honor; hence honor must be achieved strictly via loyal service to God and his group. Any attempt to gain honor in competition with other members of the “in-Christ” group is interpreted as treason, as it denies the status of God as the only honor-bestower. In the fifth chapter, the findings of the research are summarized. It is concluded that social values of “heavenly society” are very much the same as those of a non-Christian society. Belonging to a group and positive evaluation of such a group (honor) – relational values common for Mediterranean cultures – are still most significant for the “in-Christ” group members. The only thing which is changed is identity (and hence, the source of honor): for Christians, God and Christ are an exclusive source of identity and an exclusive source of honor. Hence, the “in-Christ” group and the outer world both share the value of honor; the only difference between them is the source of that honor (i.e. identity). Values remain the same, identity is different. / Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2014. / gm2014 / New Testament Studies / unrestricted

The aim of the study was to investigate the social service's approach and handling of cases related to honor-related violence and oppression. Furthermore, we wanted to map the boundary the social service makes between honor-related violence and oppression and violence in close relationships. In order to provide a detailed analysis of the aspects and questions that shall follow, a qualitative thematic analysis method has been used by conducting four semi-structured interviews with social secretaries from a social office in Sweden. The results showed that social secretaries define and manage honor-related violence and oppression in different ways. There is also no clear boundary between the phenomena, however, there are certain factors / motives in the respondents' responses that are of great importance to the social workers when they define honor-related violence and oppression. Some common underlying factors / motives are the collective or the nuclear family, culture or sexuality. It was also found that respondents often associate problems of honor with people of foreign origin. Another interesting observation worth highlighting was that several of the respondents did not really have any direct action plan or special guidelines to follow. In addition, the interviews showed that the most common intervention is family therapy and thus it is the first intervention offered.

Recent studies indicate that approximately 10- 20% of girls and boys in the 9th grade in Sweden are affected by honor-related problems (HRP). The results from these studies also show that these children tend to turn to their teachers with these specific issues. However, there is limited research concerning HRP and especially in a school context focusing on the perspective of teachers. Consequently, the aim of this thesis was to explore how HRP are approached by teachers in a school context, by focusing on their knowledge and experiences. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to understand the teachers’ ideas and perceptions of this issue. The five interviewed teachers had all taken part in a learning-opportunity about HRP. To understand why the teachers approached and understood HRP the way they did, the theory of coping was used. The result shows that the teachers feel as their learningopportunity was essential for identifying, discovering, and preventing HRP. Despite this knowledge, the interviewees experienced HRP as unfamiliar, sensitive, intimidating, and difficult to detect. Therefore, coping with HRP was perceived as challenging and threatening. This led to a cautious approach, where the teachers distanced themselves from the issue and tried to avoid dealing with it. Further, the result also showed that the teachers seemed eager to improve their preventive and identifying skills and will continue to raise awareness in the classroom. A crucial task for future research will be to identify effective strategies for the identification and prevention of HRP in a school environment.

Memoria (licenciado en ciencias jurídicas y sociales) / Este trabajo se engloba dentro del proceso de avance masivo y veloz de las redes sociales digitales del cual nuestro país no es ajeno, y que, con sus enormes ventajas para los diferentes ámbitos de nuestra vida, trae variadas desventajas, dentro de las cuales destacamos los actos que atentan o vulneran el derecho al honor a través de estas plataformas por Internet. Por ello, la presente Memoria de Prueba se encarga específicamente de estudiar y exponer al lector la situación actual de nuestro ordenamiento jurídico con relación a los delitos de injurias y calumnias cuando su medio de comisión son las redes sociales. De esta forma, parte este trabajo realizando un análisis breve de los macro conceptos que se relacionan con el tema planteado y cumplen una función introductoria, para posteriormente, mostrar el tratamiento que nuestro ordenamiento jurídico le da al derecho al honor/honra en sede constitucional, penal y civil, respectivamente. Continúa luego el examen de la situación procesal de las injurias y calumnias en sede constitucional, penal y civil cuando estas son cometidas a través de redes sociales digitales, donde el mayor énfasis está puesto en las reglas de competencia de los tribunales y los medios de prueba de los que pueden valerse las partes, lo que se contrasta con algunos casos que se han producido en los tribunales chilenos, para efectos de mostrar las diferencias entre la teoría y la práctica. Finaliza el estudio con una breve exposición del tratamiento jurídico, principalmente procesal y penal, que otorgan algunas legislaciones comparadas a los delitos de injurias y calumnias, especialmente cuando su comisión es a través de alguno de los modernos medios informáticos, como es el caso de las redes sociales digitales.

This qualitative study aims to examine women's understanding and perception of the concept of honor and their handling of honor culture. The purpose of the study is also to investigate in what way honor oppression has affected women's social relationships. The study is based on Bourdieu's theories of symbolic violence and social capital, but also on the theoretical concept of intersectionality. The study uses a qualitative method where the empirical material was collected through five interviews with women aged 22 - 30 years living in Stockholm. In the interviews, the women shared their stories and narratives. The results have been summarized in three different identified themes, which are honor, vulnerability and social relations. The results show that women have experienced honor culture and oppression as controlling and limiting, hence they have chosen to start a new life without the influence of their parents. Due to this, their social lives have been limited and forced the women to break many social ties. The conclusion of this study indicates that low integration of the fathers is of importance for the problems that arise which leads to the formation of a superior and subordinate relationship between the daughters and the fathers. / Denna kvalitativa studie syftar till att undersöka kvinnors förståelse och uppfattning av begreppet heder och deras hantering av hederskultur. Studiens syfte är även att undersöka på vilket sätt hedersförtryck har påverkat kvinnornas sociala relationer. De teoretiska utgångspunkterna för studien grundar sig i Bourdieus teorier om det symboliska våldet och det sociala kapitalet. Vidare analyseras empirin även med hjälp av det teoretiska begreppet intersektionalitet.   Studien grundar sig i en kvalitativ metod där det empiriska materialet samlats in genom 5 stycken kvalitativa intervjuer med unga kvinnor i åldrarna 22 - 30 år som bor i Stockholm. I intervjuerna har kvinnorna delat med sig av sina historier och berättelser. Resultatet har sammanfattats i tre olika teman vilket är heder, utsatthet och sociala relationer. Resultatet visar att kvinnorna har upplevt hederskultur och förtryck som kontrollerande och begränsande, därav har de valt att påbörja ett nytt liv utan föräldrarnas inverkan. Deras sociala liv har på grund av detta begränsats och gjort kvinnorna tvungna till att bryta många band. Slutsatsen i denna studie visar att låg integration hos papporna har en stor betydelse för problemen som uppstår och leder till att det bildas en över- och underordnad relation mellan döttrar och fäder.

I fall där barn försvinner från skolan och misstänks föras utomlands av sina vårdnadshavare har det visat sig att barnen löper stor risk att utsättas för hedersrelaterade brott. Skolan har en stor roll i att förebygga och arbeta mot denna typ av problematik, men i dagsläget tycks det finnas en övergripande osäkerhet och brist på rutiner gällande arbetet mot detta. Syftet med den föreliggande studien var därmed att undersöka hur skolan arbetar med problematiken kring att barn försvinner från skolan, misstänks föras utomlands och utsättas för brott. Det innefattar att undersöka skolans rutiner och förväntade agerande, hur personalen i skolan upplever att rutinerna fungerar samt följs och vad som kan förbättras när det kommer till att skydda dessa barn. Studien har en kvalitativ ansats och bygger på sju semistrukturerade intervjuer med rektorer och kuratorer från fem skolor i Sverige. Resultatet visar på en generell brist på rutiner och riktlinjer kring skolans förebyggande arbete, arbete vid misstankar och arbete när ett barn har försvunnit från skolan. Det som bland annat utmärker sig är ett stort behov av gemensamma rutiner och riktlinjer. Därutöver finns även ett behov av resurser i form av personal och kunskap samt att samverkan med framförallt socialtjänst förbättras. / In cases where children disappear from school and are suspected of being abducted abroad by their caregivers, it has been found that these children are at great risk of being victimized to honor-related crimes. The school has a major role in dealing with this kind of problem, but currently there seems to be an overall uncertainty and lack of routines regarding this. The purpose of this study was to investigate how the schoolworks with the problem of children disappearing from school, are suspected of being abducted abroad and victimized to crime. This includes examining the school routines and expected actions, how the staff at school are experiencing that the routines work,  are followed and what can be improved when it comes to protecting these children. The study has a qualitative approach and is based on seven semi-structured interviews with principals and curators from five schools in Sweden. The result shows lack of routines and guidelines regarding schools work against the problem. What stands out among other things is a great need for common routines and guidelines. There is also a need for resources in terms of staff and knowledge and a need to improve collaboration with especially social services.
