Gabrielle Taylor, "Pride, Shame, and Guilt: Emotions of Self-Assessment"
English | 1985 | ISBN: 019824620X | PDF | pages: 150 | 18.0 mb
This discussion of pride, shame, and guilt centers on the beliefs involved in the experience of any of these emotions. Through a detailed study, the author demonstrates how these beliefs are alike-in that they are all directed towards the self-and how they differ. The experience of these three emotions are illustrated by examples taken from English literature. These concrete cases supply a context for study and indicate the complexity of the situations in which these emotions usually occur.
