N2  - Research has shown how honor cultures promote aggression against others (e.g., homicide) and the self (e.g., suicide). Two studies examine the connection between honor and a predilection for guns in the commission of suicide. Study 1 shows that Whites living in honor states are especially likely to use guns to commit suicide, controlling for gun accessibility. Study 2 reveals that a "gun access gap" in honor states-a positive difference between the proportion of all suicides that involve a gun and the gun ownership rate-predicts outcomes linked previously to honor cultures: homicides and accidental deaths.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
