The Effects of Shame-proneness, Guilt-proneness and Event Attribution on Depression

Abstract

This study investigated the effects of shame-proneness, guilt-proneness, and event attribution on depression. Shame-proneness and guilt-proneness were measured with two different measures, PFQ-2(Personal Feelings Questionnaire-2) and TOSCA(Test of Self-Conscious Affect). 325 female college students completed BDI(Beck Depression Inventory) and Event Attribution Questionnaire as well as PFQ-2 and TOSCA. The results showed that the effects of shame-proneness on depression was significant but that of guilt-proneness including ruminative guilt-proneness on depression were not significant. Second, the mediation effects of event attribution between shame-proneness and depression were significant. Finally, clinical implications and limitations of the study were discussed with some suggestions for future research.
