Weapon tolerance descriptive statistics.

Addressing the under-researched issue of weapon tolerance, the paper examines factors behind male knife and gun tolerance across four different cultures, seeking to rank them in terms of predictive power and shed light on relations between them. To this end, four regression and structural equation modelling analyses were conducted using samples from the US (n = 189), India (n = 196), England (n = 107) and Poland (n = 375). Each sample of male participants indicated their standing on several dimensions (i.e., predictors) derived from theory and related research (i.e., Psychoticism, Need for Respect, Aggressive Masculinity, Belief in Social Mobility and Doubt in Authority). All four regression models were statistically significant. The knife tolerance predictors were: Aggressive Masculinity (positive) in the US, Poland and England, Belief in Social Mobility (negative) in the US and England, Need for Respect (positive) in India and Psychoticism (positive) in Poland. The gun tolerance predictors were: Psychoticism (positive) in the US, India and Poland, Aggressive Masculinity (positive) in the US, England and Poland, and Belief in in Social Mobility (negative) in the US, Belief in Social Mobility (positive) and Doubt in Authority (negative) in Poland. The Structural Equation Weapon Tolerance Model (WTM) suggested an indirect effect for the latent factor Perceived Social Ecological Constraints via its positive relation with the latent factor Saving Face, both knife and gun tolerance were predicted by Psychoticism.

针对当前研究尚未充分探讨的武器容忍度议题，本论文聚焦四种不同文化背景下男性刀具与枪支容忍度的影响因素，旨在按预测效力对各影响因素进行排序，并阐明其间的内在关联。为此，本研究采用来自美国（n=189）、印度（n=196）、英国（n=107）以及波兰（n=375）的男性被试样本，开展了四项回归分析与结构方程建模分析。所有男性被试均填写了基于理论与相关研究推导得到的多维度（即预测变量）得分，涉及精神质（Psychoticism）、尊重需求（Need for Respect）、攻击性男子气概（Aggressive Masculinity）、社会流动信念（Belief in Social Mobility）以及权威质疑（Doubt in Authority）。四项回归模型均具有统计学显著性。刀具容忍度的预测变量分别为：美国、波兰与英国的攻击性男子气概（呈正向关联）；美国与英国的社会流动信念（呈负向关联）；印度的尊重需求（呈正向关联）；以及波兰的精神质（呈正向关联）。枪支容忍度的预测变量分别为：美国、印度与波兰的精神质（呈正向关联）；美国、英国与波兰的攻击性男子气概（呈正向关联）；美国的社会流动信念（呈负向关联）；波兰的社会流动信念（呈正向关联）与权威质疑（呈负向关联）。结构方程武器容忍度模型（Structural Equation Weapon Tolerance Model, WTM）显示，潜在变量感知社会生态约束（Perceived Social Ecological Constraints）通过与潜在变量保全面子（Saving Face）的正向关联产生间接效应；同时精神质可同时预测刀具与枪支容忍度。
