| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Although shame is a moral emotion, it is associated with depression and anger. In this study, it is hypothesized that self-regulation is a primary factor that leads to destructive outcomes. The results showed that shame correlated negatively with self-regulation and positively with negative rumination, anger, and depression. Further, results of a covariance structure analysis indicated that shame was associated with depression and anger through rumination after controlling for reflection. These results suggest that inadequate self-regulation increases negative rumination, and that there may be a link between feelings of shame and anger and depression. Considering that in order to weaken the link between shame and anger and depression it may be necessary to replace negative information about the self within working memory with positive information, this study found that encouraging the recollection of positive incidents about oneself reduces the tendency toward feelings of shame.
