“…Future research should manipulate the salience or centrality of relevant identities to further investigate its causal impact on the endorsement of honor values, together with honor’s implications for social behavior, attitudes, and other psychological characteristics. For instance, research has shown that individuals’ endorsement of honor is linked to increased well-being when it aligns with the honor endorsement by others in one’s (distal or proximal) social environments ( Kirchner-Häusler et al, 2024 ). Findings from this study suggest that, because honor may constitute the content of relevant social identities, it may unlock the potential of identities to enhance well-being by providing individuals with guidance on the norms and behaviors suitable for their respective contexts ( Haslam et al, 2018 ; Travaglino et al, 2020 ).…”

Reputation refers to the set of judgments a community makes about its members. In cultures of honor, reputation constitutes one of the most pressing concerns of individuals. Reputational concerns are intimately intertwined with people’s social identities. However, research has yet to address the question of how honor-related reputational concerns are structured at the within-person level vis-à-vis individuals’ identification with relevant group memberships. The present longitudinal study investigated the association between social identification and reputational concerns in southern Italy ( N1st-wave = 1,173), a little-studied culture of honor. Specifically, using a random intercept cross-lagged panel model, we tested whether reputational concerns predict, are predicted by, or are bidirectionally linked to individuals’ identification with their region, a group membership relevant for the endorsement of honor. Findings revealed a positive association at the within-person level between group identification and subsequent honor-related concerns. Longitudinal paths from reputational concerns to identification were not significant. Implications of the findings and directions for future research are discussed.

“…Kirchner‐Häusler et al (2023, this issue) examined how the fit in honor values among participants from a multinational sample living in the Mediterranean region is linked to participants' well‐being. The authors tested whether a distal honor fit (i.e., own honor values and perceived societal honor values) or a proximal honor fit (i.e., own honor values and group‐level honor values) are linked to well‐being.…”

“…This special issue highlights that the call to go beyond traits is still relevant. However, we want to point to the few articles in our special issue that went beyond traits (e.g., Atherton et al, 2023; Du et al, 2023; Kandler et al, 2023; Kirchner‐Häusler et al, 2023). These included personality constructs such as values, well‐being, goals, interests, religiousness, and self‐schemas.…”

“…In addition, Du et al's (2023) article included three studies based on participants from 77 societies from five continents, a sample from the U.S. representing 51 different regions, and a longitudinal sample from China, showcasing how global representativeness can be achieved in personality research. Last, Kirchner‐Häusler et al (2023) included seven countries from the Mediterranean area, including Egypt, Cyprus, and Lebanon, and studied honor values—a construct that does not generalize across the world but is distinctly important to only some world regions. Future research on environmental influences on personality needs to include and closely collaborate with participants from all over the world (e.g., Arshad & Chung, 2022; Florence et al, 2023; Syed, 2021).…”

BackgroundA surge of studies aims to identify environmental factors that explain individual differences, personality stability, and personality development. This special issue builds on this large interest and solicited articles on broad and narrow environmental factors of personality.ObjectiveWe provide an overview of the motivations behind the special issue, review each of the articles, and present data on researchers' perceptions of environmental factors contributing to personality expression and development.MethodWe review 16 special issue articles, thematically grouped into seven topics—culture and race, genes and environment, geography and habitat, major/minor life events, social relationships, socioeconomic status and economic inequality, and work. We also present data on researchers' (N = 223) responses and ratings of environmental influences on personality expression and development.ResultsIn the open‐ended responses, the most important environmental influences were family, culture, peers, relationships, and trauma. Among the least important were weather, birth order, geography, climate, and shared environment. Nearly all the environmental influences featured in this special issue were considered at least somewhat important; however, there was considerable heterogeneity in how important researchers found each topic.ConclusionsThere is no perfect consensus among researchers as to which environmental factors contribute most to personality expression and development. We hope that there is a larger surge of studies on personality constructs beyond traits, that contextualize concepts within a cultural and historical framework and develop more stringent theories to hypothesize about the environmental influences on personality.
