“…The first is the low sample of female videogamers, as seen in other studies (Achab et al, 2011;Billieux et al, 2011;Campello de Souza, de Lima e Silva, & Roazzi, 2010). The second limitation is that there were no adult participants; the average age of videogame players is increasing, therefore research on videogame play should aim to study the older demographic as well as the younger.…”

“…As evidências sugerem que a hipercultura tende a efetivamente aumentar a capacidade mental de forma robusta e abrangente (Souza, 2006;Souza & Roazzi, 2007;Souza, Lima & Roazzi, 2010;Souza et al, 2012).…”

“…O alicerce da pesquisa, nesse sentido, foi estabelecer um diálogo entre várias bases teóricas, utilizando-se os valores morais (Schwartz, 2006), as representações sociais (Moscovici, 1978) e a hipercultura (Souza, Silva & Roazzi, 2010) entre os sujeitos pesquisados, para identificar diferenças e semelhanças entre o modo de pensar e de se comportar no seio social, que possam se relacionar com o fenômeno da Segurança Pública, pois cada indivíduo constrói a sua realidade social por meio dos seus sentidos e de suas narrativas pelas quais representam a realidade criminosa e as consequências dela decorrentes.…”

“…Such developments have radically transformed the productive forces of society, changing its economy, politics, and culture in many ways, leading to novel ways of thinking and acting (Souza et al, 2010, 2012; Souza and Rangel, 2015). …”

“…There is strong empirical evidence of such positive impacts (Souza et al, 2010, 2012; Souza and Rangel, 2015), whereas concerns regarding potential negative effects of ICTs in terms of diminishing the capacity for concentration and contemplation (Carr, 2010) or even per se promoting obsessive behavior, addiction and psychopathologies (Aboujaoude, 2011) seem to be either entirely baseless or grossly overstated.…”

Introduction: Theory of the Culture of Honor is one of the few models in criminology specifically geared toward homicide. It proposes that, in certain societies, men must never show weakness and are required to react violently to any perceived threats to their reputation, thereby increasing their probability of committing a homicide. This has been suggested as the main explanation for the high rates of this type of crime in Brazil, particularly in the Northeast. Underlying this explanation there are complex mechanisms and processes that have yet to be clarified.Objectives: The present research aimed to investigate the workings of the possible psychocultural mechanisms underlying the culture of honor and the process through which they might affect the individual propensity toward homicide.Methods: A total of 336 Brazilian adults were assessed regarding a broad range of sociodemographic, psychological, and sociocultural variables, including their attitudes toward homicide. The resulting dataset was analyzed using Smallest Space Analysis and Facet Theory.Results: It seems that certain cultural elements associated to traditional masculinity and enhanced anger tend to promote negative personality traits and increase one’s propensity toward committing homicide.Conclusion: The findings obtained not only confirm the Theory of the Culture of Honor for the propensity toward homicide, but also explicit and clarify some of the psychocultural processes and mechanisms involved, suggesting a new scientific framework.
