About This Measure

A 30-item self-report measure of internalized shame — a pervasive sense of personal defectiveness, unworthiness, or badness not tied to any specific act. Distinguishes chronic shame (a stable self-evaluation) from guilt (act-specific remorse). Used in research on trauma, depression, eating disorders, and self-concept.
