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.

摘要

这项研究探讨了整体和身体相关的自我意识情绪与积极和消极心理健康指数之间的相对关系。北美成人（N = 520）完成了一份在线调查问卷，以评估整体和与身体相关的羞耻感、内疚感和自豪感，以及心理健康指标（抑郁、焦虑、饮食病理、自尊、繁荣）。在三种路径模型中分析数据。与整体羞耻和内疚相比，与身体相关的羞耻和内疚与抑郁、焦虑、饮食病理和自尊有更大的关联。与身体相关的自豪感相比，全球自豪感与所有心理健康指标（饮食病理学除外）的关联程度更强。研究结果说明了与身体相关的自我意识对于影响普通人群的多种心理健康结果的重要性。
