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.
