羞耻感是一种普遍的情绪，尽管它有一系列令人困惑的原因、价值观和行为后果，这些因素在不同的社会生态中各不相同。这种转诊断的情绪可以分为两个不同的组成部分：外部和内部的羞耻。外部和内部羞耻量表（EISS）已被证明是一个简单可靠的工具，以评估外部和内部的羞耻，以及一个全球性的羞耻感。目前的研究旨在证实EISS的有效性，并扩大其效用，通过调查其维度和测试其测量不变性的样本来自欧洲，东亚和东南亚和澳大利亚的五个折衷主义国家。还探讨了五个国家EISS评分的差异。这项跨国研究包括1405名参与者，他们来自葡萄牙、法国、澳大利亚、新加坡和日本的成年人社区样本，用四种不同的语言完成了EISS。两个因素（外部和内部羞耻）加载一个全球因素（全球羞耻）的分层模型显示，在总样本和五个国家的样本中，每个样本的数据拟合良好，该工具在各国之间显示出良好的可靠性。EISS的因子结构也证明在各国之间是不变的。研究发现，这些国家在整体羞耻感、外部羞耻感和内部羞耻感得分上存在差异。通过支持各国EISS的因子结构、可靠性和测量不变性，本研究有助于在研究和临床环境中扩大EISS在各国和不同语言中的使用。
Shame is a universal emotion, albeit having a bewildering constellation of causes, valuations, and behavioural consequences that differ across social ecologies. This transdiagnostic emotion may be categorized into two distinct components: external and internal shame. The External and Internal Shame Scale (EISS) has proven to be a brief and reliable instrument to assess external and internal shame, as well as a global sense of shame. The current study aims to corroborate the validity of the EISS and expand its utility, by investigating its dimensionality and testing its measurement invariance in samples from five eclectic countries from Europe, East and Southeast Asia and Australia. Differences in EISS scores across the five countries were also explored. This cross-national study included 1405 participants recruited in community samples of adults from Portuguese, French, Australian, Singaporean and Japanese populations, who completed the EISS in four different languages. An hierarchical model with two factors (external and internal shame) loading on one global factor (global shame) revealed good fit to the data in the total sample and in each of the five countries’ samples, and the instrument showed good reliability across countries. The EISS factorial structure also proved to be invariant across countries. Differences in global shame, external and internal shame scores were found between the countries. By supporting the factorial structure, reliability and measurement invariance of the EISS across countries, this study contributes to expand the use of the EISS across nations and in different languages, both in research and clinical settings.
