  • 1.  Scale to measure "Shame" and "Guilt"

    Posted 07-13-2015 23:29
    Dear all

    I am trying to find a scale that measures "Shame" and "Guilt" at workplace.

    I have SSGS and TOSCA (3, 4).

    State Shame and Guilt Scale (SSGS)

    Marschall, D. E. (1996). Effects of induced shame on subsequent empathy and altruistic behavior. Unpublished master's thesis, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA.

    Marschall, D. Saftner, J., & Tangney, J. P. (1994). The State Shame and Guilt Scale. George Mason University, Fairfax, VA.


    TOSCA-3 (Test of Self-Conscious Affect-Version 3)
    Tangney, J.P., Dearing, R., Wagner, P.E., & Gramzow, R. (2000).  The Test of Self-Conscious  Affect – 3 (TOSCA-3).   George Mason University, Fairfax VA.

    Could you suggest other measures for Shame" and "Guilt" at workplace?

    I would really appreciate your help.

    Regards,

    Joon

    Hello Joon,
    You may find my GASP scale helpful - it is similar to the TOSCA and measures guilt proneness and shame proneness, as well as the tendency to engage in repair and withdrawal behaviors following transgressions. I have attached the scale development article and a follow-up paper showing self-other agreement and its relationship with counterproductive work behavior and organizational citizenship behavior. 


    Cohen, T. R., Wolf, S. T., Panter, A. T., & Insko, C. A. (2011). Introducing the GASP scale: A new measure of guilt and shame proneness. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 100(5), 947-966. doi: 10.1037/a0022641

    Cohen, T. R., Panter, A. T., Turan, N., Morse, L., & Kim, Y. (2013). Agreement and similarity in self-other perceptions of moral character. Journal of Research in Personality, 47, 816-830. doi: 10.1016/j.jrp.2013.08.009

    Best of luck with your research.

    Hi Joon,

    You might also consult the following article, which develops a measure of experienced shame in customer service interactions:

    Bagozzi, R. P., Verbeke, W. & Gavino Jr., J. C. (2003). Culture moderates the self-regulation of shame and its effects on performance: The case of salespersons in the Netherlands and the Philippines. Journal of Applied Psychology, 88, 219-233.

    Regards,
    Michael
