Developmental trajectory of guilt and shame during the transition to university
Overview
This cohort study examines the developmental trajectories of guilt and shame among 311 first-year undergraduate students in China over a twelve-month period. The research identifies distinct patterns for each emotion, noting that while guilt generally decreased, shame increased for the most prevalent group, with hopelessness and sexual abuse identified as specific risk factors. The findings are intended to highlight the importance of distinguishing between these negative self-conscious constructs in psychological research.
