虽然曾经被认为是破坏性的，但现在的理论认为，自我意识情绪从根本上参与了社会行为的调节。本研究通过比较健康参与者和以选择性调节缺陷为特征的神经心理人群--眼眶前额损伤患者--来检验自我意识情绪的社会调节功能。眼眶前额叶患者和健康对照组参与了一系列旨在评估他们的社会调节和自我意识情绪的任务。另一项任务评估了推断他人情绪状态的能力，这是一种涉及自我意识情绪的评估过程。与自我意识情绪对调节社会行为很重要这一理论一致，研究结果表明，行为调节不足与不适当的自我意识情绪有关，后者会加剧不适应行为。此外，行为规范的缺陷与理解他人的自我意识情绪的障碍有关。
Although once considered disruptive, self-conscious emotions are now theorized to be fundamentally involved in the regulation of social behavior. The present study examined the social regulation function of self-conscious emotions by comparing healthy participants with a neuropsychological population-patients with orbitofrontal lesions-characterized by selective regulatory deficits. Orbitofrontal patients and healthy controls participated in a series of tasks designed to assess their social regulation and self-conscious emotions. Another task assessed the ability to infer others' emotional states, an appraisal process involved in self-conscious emotion. Consistent with the theory that self-conscious emotions are important for regulating social behavior, the findings show that deficient behavioral regulation is associated with inappropriate self-conscious emotions that reinforce maladaptive behavior. Additionally, deficient behavioral regulation is associated with impairments in interpreting the self-conscious emotions of others.
