Although shame may be a pan-human feeling and concept, it may be different in important ways from culture to culture. This paper offers a view of shame in Korean families. It is based on intensive qualitative interviews with a single informant who is also the first author of the paper. The paper outlines the cultural roots of shame in Korea, the central place of shame in the functioning of Korean families, the ways that shame in Korea is not only individual but familial, the centrality and value given to shame in Korea culture, the ways parenting in Korea promotes shame, family benefits of shame, the entanglement of shame and gender with marriage and sexuality, and the etiquette and social dynamics of shame in Korean culture. The paper argues that understanding the ways that shame is uniquely defined, experienced, contextualized, and dealt with in a society is of great value.

Honour and Shame by Sana al-Khayyat

The way in which one copes with, or defends against, shame has important implications. The Compass of Shame (Nathanson, 1992) is a conceptual model consisting of four shame-coping styles: Attack Self, Withdrawal, Attack Other, and Avoidance. Participants rated the frequency with which
they employed each of the shame-coping scripts across eight categories of shameinducing situations as described by Nathanson. The scripts were consistently applied across situations and the ratings were stable over time. A differentiated pattern of correlations was found between the four scripts
and several indicators of psychological functioning. Results provide empirical support for Nathanson's Compass of Shame model.

This editorial piece introduces a special issue on the feminist politics of shame. It locates the special issue in the larger framework of scholarship on feminist approaches to shame and specifically feminist psychological emphases, and contextualises the foregrounding of the productive possibilities of shame for feminist social justice projects. The introductory piece overviews the contributions to the special issue through a thematic lens.

Shame is a powerful self-conscious emotion that can interfere with healthy psychological functioning. We examined the validity of the Compass of Shame Scale (CoSS), a self-report measure designed to assess shame regulation styles. In this paper, the construct validity of the Dutch version
and two newly developed subscales of the CoSS were investigated in a survey of 324 adolescents. The results confirmed that the Dutch version and the two new subscales have satisfactory psychometric qualities. We also studied the higher level factor structure of the CoSS for measuring shame
by introducing the concepts of internalizing and externalizing shame-coping styles and the results support the observation that the CoSS measures maladaptive neurotic internalizing shame regulation, as well as externalizing shame regulation.
