Abstract

Objectives: This study investigated whether honor ideology, or a belief that one's reputation must be defended at all costs, is related to firearms ownership in soldiers.

Methods: N=301 active-duty soldiers completed online self-report measures in this cross-sectional study.

Results: Honor ideology was higher in soldiers who privately own a firearm compared with those who do not currently own and do not plan to after military separation. Higher honor ideology was correlated with a disbelief that private firearms ownership is related to soldier suicide risk. Levels of honor ideology were equal in soldiers who own a private firearm for protection versus other reasons (eg, hunting, maintaining a collection).

Conclusions: Honor ideology may be related to suicide risk through increased likelihood of owning a private firearm and disbelief in private firearm ownership being related to one's own suicide risk in soldiers. Honor ideology could be relevant to consider when means safety initiatives are developed for active-duty military personnel.

美国现役军人的荣誉思想和私人枪支所有权。

研究目的本研究调查了荣誉意识形态（即认为必须不惜一切代价捍卫自己的名誉）是否与士兵拥有枪支有关：在这项横断面研究中，共有 301 名现役士兵完成了在线自我报告测量：结果：私人拥有枪支的士兵与目前不拥有枪支且退伍后也不打算拥有枪支的士兵相比，荣誉意识更高。较高的荣誉意识形态与不相信私人拥有枪支与士兵自杀风险有关相关。拥有私人枪支是为了保护自己的士兵与出于其他原因（如狩猎、收藏）拥有私人枪支的士兵的荣誉意识形态水平相同：荣誉意识形态可能通过增加士兵拥有私人枪支的可能性和不相信拥有私人枪支与自身自杀风险有关而与自杀风险相关。在为现役军人制定手段安全倡议时，可以考虑荣誉意识形态。
