本研究考察了羞耻和内疚倾向作为一般因果关系取向和抑郁症状之间关系的中介变量的作用。我们预计，自主性会基于更高的内疚倾向和更低的羞耻倾向而与较少的抑郁症状相关，而控制组将基于更低的内疚倾向和更高的羞耻倾向而与更多的抑郁症状相关。本科生(N=354)完成了对一般因果关系取向、羞耻感和内疚倾向以及抑郁症状的评估，以换取额外的学分。中介分析的结果总体上支持这一框架，表明羞耻感和内疚倾向在自我决定和抑郁症状之间起中介作用。自主性通过与内疚倾向的正相关间接地与较少的抑郁症状相关，尽管与羞耻倾向有意想不到的正相关。控制力和客观取向通过与羞耻倾向正相关间接地与更多的抑郁症状相关。结果扩展了先前关于自我决定和心理健康的研究，提供了初步的支持，表明自我决定的个体差异促进了体验内疚和羞耻的不同倾向。
The present study examined the roles of shame- and guilt-proneness as mediators of associations between general causality orientations and depressive symptoms. We expected autonomy would be associated with less depressive symptoms based on higher guilt-proneness and lower shame-proneness, whereas control would be associated with more depressive symptoms based on lower guilt-proneness and higher shame-proneness. Undergraduates (N = 354) completed assessments of general causality orientations, shame- and guilt-proneness, and depressive symptoms in exchange for extra credit. Results of mediation analyses were generally supportive of the framework indicating that shame- and guilt-proneness mediate associations between self-determination and depressive symptoms. Autonomy was indirectly associated with less depressive symptoms through positive associations with guilt-proneness, in spite of unexpected positive associations with shame-proneness. Control and impersonal orientation were indirectly associated with more depressive symptoms through positive associations with shame-proneness. Results extend previous research relating self-determination to mental health in providing preliminary support suggesting that individual differences in self-determination facilitate differential tendencies in experiencing guilt and shame.
