Abstract

Introduction: Whereas the act-person model of shame emphasizes negative self-appraisals, the sociometer theory roots shame in real or imagined social evaluation. If so, shame might increase vulnerability to psychosocial stressors and manifest in social anxiety specifically. We investigated how shame-proneness predicted concurrent symptoms and responses to daily interpersonal stressors. Method: A total of 159 participants (including those meeting anxiety/depression criteria in clinical interviews; n = 58) completed baseline measures of shame- and guilt-proneness, trait negative affect (NA), and social anxiety, depression, and generalized anxiety disorder symptoms, followed by stressor diaries for 5 weeks (1,923 diaries). Results: Even with NA and guilt-proneness controlled, shame-proneness uniquely predicted concurrent social anxiety and prospectively predicted experiencing social evaluation. Unique links to depression and nonspecific anxiety and worry were less consistent. Discussion: Specificity in shame-social evaluation links supported sociometer theory, Results have implications both for shame theory and clinical practice with shame-prone individuals.
羞耻倾向独特地预测社会评价症状:考虑羞耻的社会测量理论
引言:羞耻的行为人模型强调消极的自我评价,而社会计量理论则将羞耻植根于真实或想象中的社会评价。如果是这样的话,羞耻感可能会增加对心理社会压力源的脆弱性,并具体表现为社交焦虑。我们调查了羞耻倾向如何预测并发症状和对日常人际压力的反应。方法:共有159名参与者(包括在临床访谈中符合焦虑/抑郁标准的参与者;n=58)完成了羞耻和内疚倾向、特质负面影响(NA)以及社交焦虑、抑郁和广泛性焦虑症症状的基线测量,然后写了5周的压力源日记(1923日记)。结果:即使NA和内疚倾向得到控制,羞耻倾向也能唯一地预测并发的社交焦虑,并前瞻性地预测体验性社会评价。与抑郁、非特异性焦虑和担忧的独特联系并不一致。讨论:羞耻社会评价环节的特异性支持社会计量理论,研究结果对羞耻理论和易羞耻个体的临床实践都有启示。

期刊介绍: This journal is devoted to the application of theory and research from social psychology toward the better understanding of human adaptation and adjustment, including both the alleviation of psychological problems and distress (e.g., psychopathology) and the enhancement of psychological well-being among the psychologically healthy. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) traditionally defined psychopathology (e.g., depression), common emotional and behavioral problems in living (e.g., conflicts in close relationships), the enhancement of subjective well-being, and the processes of psychological change in everyday life (e.g., self-regulation) and professional settings (e.g., psychotherapy and counseling). Articles reporting the results of theory-driven empirical research are given priority, but theoretical articles, review articles, clinical case studies, and essays on professional issues are also welcome. Articles describing the development of new scales (personality or otherwise) or the revision of existing scales are not appropriate for this journal.
