Abstract: | Research on the emotion of shame has increased significantly in recent years. However, there remains a need for more psychometrically
sound measures of shame, including measures of shame in response to specific, idiographic experiences. The Shame Inventory
was developed in order to assess both global feelings of shame as well as shame in response to specific life events or personal
characteristics. Two studies were conducted to determine the preliminary psychometric properties of the Shame Inventory. Across
both studies, results indicate that the inventory has high internal consistency, test-retest reliability, construct validity,
and predictive validity. The Shame Inventory holds promise as a new measure designed to assess both global feelings of shame
as well as specific shame-eliciting cues. |
