Abstract

Self-conscious emotions are closely related to the individual’s sense of self. Probably the most researched self-conscious emotion is shame. Shame first arises in the context of early relationships and is based on a complex ability of human mind to model how we “exist” in the perception of other people. Shame plays an adaptive role in promoting moral behavior and supporting interpersonal connections. However, it is a painful emotion oft en associated with psychological problems. Modern clinical psychology research demonstrates that shame plays an important role in many psychological disorders and people prone to shame are more vulnerable to mental illness. The goal of this paper is to explore the relationship between
adverse childhood experiences, characteristics of individual’s shame experiences and heart rate reactivity in response to shame-related stimuli in an experimental situation. Refs 20. Fig 1. Tables 3.
