Shame!
3D Render by Henry1850What is shame?
Shame is the painful feeling associated with a negative evaluation of the self: that you are bad, flawed, inappropriate, or less than what you ought to be. This is opposed to guilt, where the target of evaluation is one’s actions: that you did a bad thing.
There is research to suggest that shame is associated with poor mental and physical health. Shame is also associated with activation of the hyper-pituitary adrenal and immune systems, similar to physical threat, which can be unhealthy when prolonged.
But, like other aversive emotions such as fear, shame is functional to the extent that it encourages goal-directed behavior and survival. There is now substantial psychological evidence – including physiological, cross cultural, social, and evolutionary – to suggest that shame helps us to negotiate group life by alerting us to when our membership of, or status within, groups is at risk.
In this way shame may function like a gauge of threat to our moral-social status. In response to the question “am I a good or valued group member? the feeling of shame communicates a painful red alert that we may be falling short. In this way shame can emerge as a result of loss (or anticipated loss) of status, or by violating socially derived norms, values or expectations. Shame ultimately responds to our psychological need for belonging and acceptance.
Shame is associated with the feeling of wanting to avoid, hide or disappear; to minimize the threat to the self in a social context.
Social function:
However, shame can also motivate responsibility and repair behaviors when we feel that there is actually something that we can do to change the cause of our shame. Taking responsibility can then lead to self-forgiveness and resolving our feelings of shame. The red alert can then switch off.
However, when we feel there is nothing we can to do to remedy the situation causing shame – to “fixourselves – or when repair seems difficult, risky or costly, shame can lead to more detrimental shame management strategies such as avoidance, withdrawal, self-punishment or defensiveness.
Public shaming thus has several social functions: it communicates group norms, to both the norm violator and onlookers; it punishes the norm violation by lowering the status of the transgressor and the pain of shame; and it elevates the status of others as norm conformers.
The impact of public shaming can vary. Where public shaming is stigmatizing – that is, a person’s behavior is discussed in such a way as to make them feel that they are incurably flawed – this leads to poor outcomes because there is no pathway to repair.
Stigmatizing shaming can lead to unresolved feelings of shame and may effectively disconnect an individual from the moral community. A bully stigmatized for bullying, or an alcoholic stigmatized for drinking, is (counterintuitively) more likely to continue the problematic behavior.
Re integrative shaming:
But shaming can be re integrative. Where attention is drawn to a wrongdoing, or perceived wrongdoing, in such a way as to communicate respect for the person, by people who love, care and accept the person, it opens up the possibility of repair.
One wonders whether re-integrative shaming can even occur online. Without reciprocity, and an expectation of ongoing cooperation, or personal knowledge contextualizing a behavior within the wider perspective of a person’s life, it is doubtful. Other human tendencies that tend to attribute failures of others to character flaws, that cause group polarization and schadenfreude, may continue to lead to stigmatizing digital shaming.
Of course, raising our voice against inappropriate behavior, such as bullying, racism and domestic violence is important. But before we do so, if we care about changing others’ behavior, and we aren’t just trying to be clever and gain status ourselves, perhaps we should pause to think about whether we are marginalizing or diminishing another person, insinuating that they are hopeless or flawed.
Or are we communicating respect and opening up a pathway for repair? There is a substantial difference between the two approaches, and whether the shame generated can shape behavior for the better.
