Abstract
ABSTRACT This study examined the relative relationships between global and body-related self-conscious emotions to indices of positive and negative mental health. North American adults (N = 520) completed an online questionnaire to assess global and body-related shame, guilt and pride, and mental health indicators (depression, anxiety, eating pathology, self-esteem, flourishing). Data were analyzed in three path models. Compared to global shame and guilt, body-related shame and guilt showed a greater magnitude of association with depression, anxiety, eating pathology, and self-esteem. Global pride showed a stronger magnitude of association with all mental health indicators (except eating pathology) compared to body-related pride. Findings illustrate the importance of body-related self-consciousness for multiple mental health outcomes known to impact the general population.
期刊介绍：
Work on self and identity has a special place in the study of human nature, as self-concerns are arguably at the center of individuals" striving for well-being and for making sense of one"s life. Life goals develop and are influenced by one"s view of what one is like, the way one would ideally like to be (or would like to avoid being), as well as one"s perceptions of what is feasible. Furthermore, conceptions of self and the world affect how one"s progress towards these goals is monitored, evaluated, redirected, re-evaluated, and pursued again. Thus, the “self” as a construct has far-reaching implications for behavior, self-esteem, motivation, experience of emotions and the world more broadly, and hence for interpersonal relationships, society, and culture.
