Abstract

Although there are studies in the national context that use a Culture of Honor Scale by Lopes-Zafra 2007, none have experienced a cross-cultural adaptation of this instrument. This article seeks to corroborate this gap within the scope of national research. It had a sample of 229 participants from the general population, with a mean age of 24.8 years (range 18 to 44 years, SD = 5.36), the majority being female (59.4%). Exploratory factorials and internal consistency analyzes were performed. These consultations corroborated with three factors, and presented adequate internal consistency, ranging from 0.62 to 0.70.
