The cultures of honor theory suggests that individuals raised in the southern United States, which values traditional masculinity and a code of honor that emphasizes aggressive responses to insults, are more likely to respond with anger and aggression in situations where they feel their honor has been challenged. In contrast, individuals raised in the northern United States, where honor is typically associated with more cooperative behaviors and less emphasis on aggression, are more likely to respond with amusement or dismissal to insulting situations. Therefore, this theory would suggest that Jason, who was more likely to be angry and upset in response to insult, grew up in a southern state, while Patrick, who was more likely to be amused, grew up in a northern state.
