Shame, guilt, and personality judgment
نویسنده
چکیده
The purpose of this study was to shed further light on the intrapersonal and interpersonal correlates of shameand guilt-proneness by examining their relations with selfand peer-ratings of the five-factor model (FFM) of personality. Shameand guilt-proneness were assessed using a scenario-based and a checklist measure. Consistent with findings from previous research, the self-rating data yielded support for the view that shame-proneness may be associated with more maladaptive patterns than guilt-proneness. However, peer-ratings of personality failed to corroborate these findings. Both scenario-based and checklist measures of shame-proneness were associated with a tendency to underestimate one!s Agreeableness relative to peer-ratings. Several possible interpretations of these findings are discussed in light of the extant research on personality judgment. ! 2003 Elsevier Science (USA). All rights reserved.
