Shame among unemployed men

M.J. Eales

Social Science & Medicine, 1989, vol. 28, issue 8, 783-789

Abstract: Explicit criteria for rating feelings of shame were applied in a group of 80 unemployed men. Shame was prominent in 15% of the sample and milder features were present in a further 10%. It was strongly associated with the presence of minor affective disorder and with some, but not all, of the vulnerability factors associated with the latter. Possible explanations for these associations are discussed.
