Abstract
A sense of shame is a part of the social being of a person. Formation of the ability to experience shame derives from inclusion in social interaction and is determined by external and internal factors. But any feeling in certain circumstances may increase in level and cease to be adequately relevant to the external situation, thus destroying some connections with one’s own Self and external reality. A sense of shame acts as an integral characteristic of the relations of an individual and is defined as a regulator of internal - relationships with oneself.
According to the research results by V. Stolin, the macrostructure of self-attitude of self-respect, autosympathy, self-interest, which, due to the additivity of this structure, are integrated into the general feeling of positive or negative attitude towards oneself. The structure of self-attitude also has three levels − cognitive, emotional and behavioural.
Self-attitude is capable of self-regulation, in accordance with internal or external changes. Among the internal factors that have significant impact on self-steering, its components and regulatory function is a sense of shame as a component with common tangible components.
In the course of the research into the sense of shame, the author found that some individuals, in case of frequent or intense experience of shame can feel shame constantly − they have the so-called chronic shame. The author assumes that chronic shame has a negative effect on self-attitude of a personality, reducing its function of self-regulation.
As a result of the statistical analysis of the data obtained, it has been established that both shame and self-attitude of the person have a regulatory function. These components of a conditionally healthy personality are interrelated and this relationship is manifested in the fact that the level of feeling of shame and the frequency of experiencing the situation of shame affect the self-attitude of the individual, especially its components - self-confidence, self-sensation and self-respect.
Chronic shame decreases the regulatory functions of the individual, reducing the overall level of self-attitude. This is due to the fact that a person with chronic shame tends to apply protective mechanisms to avoid painful feelings that originate from enormously high levels of shame.
