A self-report measure of proneness to shame and guilt was administered to 86 patients with moderate to severe depression, with the prediction that there would be a positive correlation of shame with severity of depression. Contrary to other, non-clinical studies, we found that guilt but not shame was associated with levels of depression. Shame-proneness demonstrated a unique association with a stable attributional style for negative outcomes, global negative self-evaluation, submissive behaviour and internalized anger. Contrary to prediction, no relationship was found between shame- or guilt-proneness and a reported history of childhood sexual abuse.
我们对86名中度至重度抑郁症患者进行了一项关于羞耻感和内疚感倾向的自我报告测量，预计羞耻感与抑郁症严重程度呈正相关。与其他非临床研究相反，我们发现内疚感而非羞耻感与抑郁水平相关。羞耻感倾向与负面结果的稳定归因方式、整体负面自我评价、顺从行为和内化愤怒存在独特关联。与预测相反，羞耻感或内疚感倾向与报告的童年性虐待史之间未发现关联。
