Abstract

BACKGROUND

The concept of shame in Arab societies displays multiple differences when compared to Western societies in terms of nature, sources, types, and correlates. Surprisingly, we could not find any study investigating this increasingly important construct in Arab countries or the broad Arabic-speaking communities. This may likely be due to the lack of valid instruments assessing shame in the Arabic language. To address this major gap and contribute to the international literature, we sought to examine the psychometric properties of an Arabic translation of the External and Internal Shame Scale (EISS) among a community sample of Arabic-speaking adults from Lebanon.

METHODS

An online survey was conducted among Lebanese adults between July and August 2022. A total of 570 Lebanese adults completed the EISS, as well as Depression Anxiety Stress Scales, Other as shamer scale, and the Standardized Stigmatization Questionnaire. Exploratory-to-confirmatory (EFA-CFA) factor analyses were conducted.

RESULTS

Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses supported a unidimensional model of EISS scores, with all eight items retained. Scores achieved scalar invariance across gender, with no significant difference reported between females and males. EISS scores were found to have adequate composite reliability (McDonald's ω = 0.88 for the total score); as well as adequate patterns of correlations with depression, anxiety and stress symptoms, as well as stigmatization scores. Finally, our analyses provide support to the concurrent validity of the Arabic version of the scale, by showing that the EISS total scores strongly correlated with the external shame measure "other as shamer".

CONCLUSION

Although further validations are necessary before our findings could be generalized, we preliminarily suggest that this is a short, easy-to-use, self-report scale that enables a reliable and valid measure of the shame construct among Arabic-speaking people.

摘要

背景

与西方社会相比，阿拉伯社会中的羞耻概念在本质、来源、类型和相关性方面存在多种差异。令人惊讶的是，我们在阿拉伯国家或广泛的阿拉伯语社区中找不到任何研究探讨这一日益重要的结构。这可能是由于缺乏评估阿拉伯语中羞耻感的有效工具。为了填补这一主要空白，并为国际文献做出贡献，我们试图检验阿拉伯语版外部和内部羞耻量表（EISS）在黎巴嫩阿拉伯语成年人社区样本中的心理测量特性。

方法

2022 年 7 月至 8 月期间，我们在黎巴嫩成年人中进行了在线调查。共有 570 名黎巴嫩成年人完成了 EISS、抑郁焦虑压力量表、其他作为羞耻者量表和标准化污名化问卷。进行了探索性-验证性（EFA-CFA）因子分析。

结果

探索性和验证性因子分析支持 EISS 评分的单维模型，保留了所有八项条目。评分在性别上实现了标度不变性，女性和男性之间没有报告显著差异。EISS 评分具有足够的综合可靠性（总分为 McDonald's ω=0.88）；以及与抑郁、焦虑和压力症状以及污名化评分的适当关联模式。最后，我们的分析通过显示 EISS 总分与外部羞耻测量“他人为羞耻者”之间存在强烈相关性，为该量表的同时效度提供了支持。
