Another source I found is by Jessica K. Van Vliet of the
University of Alberta. She describes shame events, and how shame has led to
psychological disorders, including depression, eating disorders, and
addictions. One quote she includes is “shame stems from evaluations of internal
and external events and from cultural standards that are internalized by the
individual.” This quote really stuck out to me. Shame events are so affective
because the person looks at what is acceptable by society and what is not, or
embarrassing or humiliating, based on their internal and external feelings as
well as the culture they know.
