Shame on the part of parents of mentally handicapped children has pronounced effects on child-rearing practices. The aim of this study was to compare expressions of shame of different ethnic groups in Israel. The attitudes of 23 Western mothers and 26 Eastern mothers towards their moderately and severely retarded children were studied. Significant differences (p less than 0.05-p less than 0.01) were found, suggesting that the Eastern mothers strongly expressed their shame, whereas the Western mothers 'felt ashamed' to express it at all. The Western mothers felt that the social norms that reject feelings of shame and their own personal feelings of embarrassment were in conflict.
智障儿童家长的羞耻感对育儿方式有显著影响。本研究旨在比较以色列不同种族群体的羞耻感表达。研究了23位西方母亲和26位东方母亲对其中度和重度智障孩子的态度。发现了显著差异（p小于0.05 - p小于0.01），这表明东方母亲强烈表达了她们的羞耻感，而西方母亲却根本“羞于”表达。西方母亲觉得拒绝羞耻感的社会规范与她们自己的个人尴尬感受相冲突。
