Guilt may be defined as the dysphoric feelings associated with the recognition that one has violated a personally relevant, moral or social standard. Guilt has an adaptive function when a sense of tension elicited by guilt often serves as a motivation for reparative action. Theories about guilt were discussed in terms of early origins, antecedents, and consequences. Although guilt is assumed to serve adaptive functions at societal level, clinicians have long identified guilt as potentially problematic for the individual. So, theories about guilt are different whether they expect guilt should be associated with psychopathology or not. In many research with a paper-and-pencil measure to assess guilt-prone-ness, the evidence was found to support the view that interpersonal guilt had a positive correlation with shame, private self-consciousness, empathy, and psychological symptoms, and a negative one with aggression. For the future direction, the culture-specific organization of guilt was discussed. This review closes by offering suggestions for the future guilt research in Japan.}, pages = {281--302}, title = {罪悪感に関する最近の研究動向}, volume = {42}, year = {2001}, yomi = {アリミツ, コウキ} }
