Abstract in brief

  • The study conducted a meta-analysis to examine the relationship between shame and PTSD, finding a significant moderate correlation (r = 0.49), meaning that higher levels of shame are associated with more severe PTSD symptoms across various populations.
  • A total of 25 studies with 3,663 participants were included, all of which measured shame and PTSD using validated tools, and the results showed minimal publication bias, supporting the reliability of the findings.
  • The findings suggest that shame plays a critical role in PTSD and should be considered a key factor in treatment approaches, with future research needed to explore how shame interacts with other emotions and PTSD symptoms.]
