Question

Mitchell has a shame orientation, and Manish has a guilt orientation. Which is the most likely outcome?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is B) Mitchell's shame orientation will have more adverse psychological correlates than Manish's guilt  orientation.

Explanation:

If Mitchell is shamed, in a culture that seeks to prevent shame and maintain dignity, it could trigger the desire for revenge. Revenge can be mild or fatal. Hence, we can say that the shame orientation has more adverse psychological correlates than the guilt orientation. The guilt orientation control is achieved by maintaining and emphasizing the fear of punishment whilst in the shame paradigm, ostracism is used to control people.
