Shame is a transdiagnostic emotion of strong clinical and research interest. Yet, there is a lack of consensus on the definition and varying methods employed across self-report measures, potentially affecting our ability to accurately study shame and examine whether clinical interventions to alter shame are effective. This paper offers a systematic review of self-report measures of generalized shame.
PubMed, PsycInfo, and Web of Science were searched. Studies were included when they were available in English and the primary aim was to evaluate measurement properties of scales or subscales designed to measure generalized shame in adults.
Thirty-six papers examining 19 scales were identified, with measures of trait shame more common than state shame. Construct validity, internal consistency, and structural validity were relative strengths. Development and content validity studies were lacking and suffered from low methodological quality.
All measures evaluated needed additional research to meet criteria for recommended use.
羞耻是一种具有强烈临床和研究意义的跨诊断情绪。然而,在自我报告测量中,羞耻的定义和使用的方法缺乏共识,这可能会影响我们准确研究羞耻的能力,并检验改变羞耻的临床干预是否有效。本文对广义羞耻的自我报告测量进行了系统回顾。
检索了 PubMed、PsycInfo 和 Web of Science。当研究报告可用且主要目的是评估设计用于评估成年人普遍羞耻感的量表或分量表的测量特性时,研究将被纳入。
确定了 36 篇研究报告,共涉及 19 个量表,特质羞耻的测量比状态羞耻更为常见。构念效度、内部一致性和结构效度是相对优势。发展和内容效度研究缺乏,且存在低方法质量的问题。
所有评估的测量工具都需要进一步的研究,以符合推荐使用的标准。
