Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The survey research by Richard Nisbett revealed that Southerners are more prone to aggress in response to insults, which suggests a cultural difference in how aggression is justified or interpreted in the North and South. This cultural difference has been attributed to a "culture of honor" in the South, where reputation and status are highly valued and aggression is seen as a legitimate response to threats to one's reputation or status. This cultural difference is not related to the endorsement of instrumental or hostile aggression, or the use of aggression for self-protection. The availability of handguns in the South may contribute to the higher homicide rates, but this is not directly related to the cultural differences in aggression.
