• Cross-cultural Continuities and Discontinuities in Shame, Guilt, and Pride: A Study of Children Residing in Japan, Korea and the USA (2012, background): “Wolf, Cohen, Panter, and Insko ( 2010 ) have argued that the self versus behavior distinction between shame and guilt is not incompatible with the public versus private conceptualization and both contribute to the differential constructs.”
• Good and Guilt-Free: The Role of Self-Accountability in Influencing Preferences for Products with Ethical Attributes (2013, background): “Indeed, work on self-conscious emotion suggests that while shame is more likely to be activated when a person’s transgression is publicly exposed, guilt is more likely to occur at the level of the private self (Cohen et al. 2011; Smith et al. 2002; Wolf et al. 2010).”
• Moral Emotions and Unethical Bargaining: The Differential Effects of Empathy and Perspective Taking in Deterring Deceitful Negotiation (2010, background): “Guilt proneness is a trait that leads individuals to anticipate feeling bad about their personal transgressions and motivates them to engage in approach-oriented behaviors focused on repairing the consequences of their misdeeds (Tangney & Dearing, 2002; Tangney et al., 2007; Wolf et al., 2009).”
• Agreement and Similarity in Self-Other Perceptions of Moral Character (2013, background): “Nonetheless, more recent work has shown that it is possible to empirically separate a person’s repair action orientation from their guilt proneness and their withdrawal action orientation from their shame proneness (Cohen et al., 2011; Wolf et al., 2009).”
