Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research on the culture of honor shows that individuals from southern regions are more likely to respond aggressively in situations that are perceived as threatening to their honor or reputation. Cutting in line may be seen as a challenge to Jeff's place in the queue, and if he is from a southern region, he may be more likely to respond with aggression.
