本研究探讨的作用，不必要的身份发挥会计现存的调查结果有关的性别差异的性别倾向。不想要的身份结构也被用来解释为什么在羞耻和愤怒之间发现了强大的联系。大学生（48名男性，84名女性）评估了他们的羞耻感，内疚感，愤怒感和不想要的身份，以应对TOSCA-2情景，已知在羞耻感方面产生强大的性别差异，以及新的情景，意味着比女性的身份更具威胁性。即使在解释了羞耻和内疚之间的共同差异之后，证据也支持这样的结论，即女性比男性更大的羞耻倾向可能是一种人为因素，反映了以前的情况对女性身份的威胁性更大。中介分析也证实，不想要的身份会引发羞耻感，而羞耻感反过来又是愤怒的有力煽动者。讨论的重点是目前的结果和预期的基础上以前的理论和研究之间的不一致。
The present study examined the role that unwanted identities play in accounting for extant findings concerning gender differences in shame-proneness. The construct of unwanted identities was also used to explain why powerful associations have been found between shame and anger. College students (48 men, 84 women) rated their feelings of shame, guilt, anger, and unwanted identities in response to the TOSCA-2 scenarios, known to yield robust gender differences in shame, and to new scenarios, meant to be more threatening to melt's than women's identities. Even after accounting for shared variance between shame and guilt, evidence supported the conclusion that women's greater shame-proneness than men's could be an artifact, reflecting the more threatening nature of previous situations to women's identities. Mediational analyses also confirmed that unwanted identities elicit shame, which, in turn, is a powerful instigator of anger. Discussion focuses on inconsistencies between the present results and expectations based on previous theory and research.
