title: Assessment of Different Dimensions of Shame Proneness: Validation of the SHAME creator: Scheel, Corinna N. creator: Eisenbarth, Hedwig creator: Rentzsch, Katrin subject: 150 subject: 150 Psychology description: A large body of research revealed that shame is associated with adaptive and maladaptive correlates. The aim of this work was to validate a new dimensional instrument (SHAME), which was developed to disentangle adaptive and maladaptive dimensions of shame proneness. Confirmatory factor analyses supported the three-factorial structure (bodily, cognitive, and existential shame) in American (n = 502) and German (n = 496) community samples, using invariance testing. Bifactormodel analyses exhibited distinct associations of adaptive (bodily and cognitive shame) and maladaptive (existential shame) dimensions of shame with psychopathology and social functioning. Network analyses highlighted the role of existential shame in psychopathology, especially for a clinical sample of patients with Borderline Personality Disorder (n = 92). By placing shame pronenesss into a network of similar and dissimilar constructs, the current findings serve as a foundation for drawing conclusions about the adaptive and maladaptive nature of shame. publisher: Sage (Publ.) date: 2020 type: Article type: info:eu-repo/semantics/article type: NonPeerReviewed format: application/pdf identifier: https://archiv.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/volltextserverhttps://archiv.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/volltextserver/29136/1/10.1177_1073191118820130.pdf identifier: DOI:10.11588/heidok.00029136 identifier: https://doi.org/10.1177/1073191118820130 identifier: urn:nbn:de:bsz:16-heidok-291368 identifier: Scheel, Corinna N. ; Eisenbarth, Hedwig ; Rentzsch, Katrin (2020) Assessment of Different Dimensions of Shame Proneness: Validation of the SHAME.
