Abstract

Although debilitating effects of experiencing shame are posited in several theories of emotion and motivation, little research has been conducted on individuals' "in-the-moment" feelings of shame (i.e., state shame). However, researching state shame is challenging because individuals may deny or underreport their feelings of shame, tend to self-isolate when they feel shame, and may be unwilling or unable to express themselves when feeling shame. The Experiential Shame Scale (ESS), an "opaque" measure of physical, emotional, and social markers of shame experiences, was developed to address the difficulties of assessing state shame. Evidence obtained in three studies of individuals' emotional reactions following personally important exam feedback suggests that students' ESS ratings were uniquely related to feelings of state shame and not to state guilt. Findings also reveal that state shame is specifically related to feelings of shock and not surprise. As intended, findings suggested that the ESS has low face validity and is not related to social desirability.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
