Tracy (psychology, U. of British Columbia, Canada) et al. compile 24 chapters that examine the self-conscious emotions that regulate and motivate thoughts, feelings, and behaviors: embarrassment, guilt, humiliation, pride, and shame. They aim to cover the current state of research in the field and demonstrate the importance and broad implications of these emotions, and discuss the theories of their nature and function, addressing basic brain mechanisms and complex social processes; developmental pathways; the role of culture; specific research on each emotion; and the applications and implications of these emotions in different areas, such as criminality, terror management, body image, narcissism, and international aggression. The final chapter addresses self-report and nonverbal approaches to assessment. Contributors are psychology, social behavior, anthropology, education, psychiatry, social science, and medical scholars from the US, Canada, and Europe. The volume has both author and subject indexes. It is intended for researchers and students in social, personality, developmental, and clinical psychology.

Timely and authoritative, this volume reviews the breadth of current knowledge on the self-conscious emotions and their role in psychological and social functioning. Leading investigators approach the subject from multiple levels of analysis, ranging from basic brain mechanisms to complex social processes. Chapters present compelling advances in research on the most fundamental self-conscious emotions: embarrassment, guilt, humiliation, pride, and shame. Addressed are neural and evolutionary mechanisms, developmental processes, cultural differences and similarities, and influences on a wide array of social behaviors and personality processes. A unique chapter on assessment describes and evaluates the full range of available measures.

"What a great book! Self-conscious emotions, such as shame, guilt, and pride, play a pivotal role in social and self-regulation. The contributors to this book add to our understanding of these emotions at every level--from their neural basis, cognitive underpinnings, and development, to their societal functions and cross-cultural differences. This book is a 'must read' for researchers and students interested in personality, identity, emotion, moral development, relationships, and culture."--Carol S. Dweck, PhD, Lewis and Virginia Eaton Professor of Psychology, Stanford University

This fascinating volume assembles diverse perspectives on the topic, offering a number of new insights and penetrating analyses. It is the single most important resource for all scholars hoping to get a glimpse at this emerging area of research."--Shinobu Kitayama, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of Michigan -
