metadata.value: Shame tends to motivate social approach to restore the threatened self. If this seems impossible,
  however, shame activates social withdrawal. Though it is unclear why one can underestimate
  the possibility of repairing their threatened self, research suggests the role of adverse
  childhood experiences. People with such experiences report shame memories that have
  traumatic memory characteristics such as intrusions, avoidance and hyperarousal, which are
  associated with feelings of helplessness and alienation in the face of danger. Therefore, social
  withdrawal following shame could be associated with higher posttraumatic stress in response
  to shame experiences. The aim of the study was to examine the link between perceptions of
  childhood experiences and proneness to shame in adults. The sample included 73 participants
  (60 females, 13 males), M = 23. Perceptions of childhood experiences were measured using the
  Juvenile Victimization Questionnaire. The Impact of Event Scale, the Guilt and Shame Proneness
  Scale and a modified procedure for assessing shame-induced behavior (de Hooge et al.)
  were used to measure characteristics of shame. We used comparative, factorial and multiple
  regression analyses. The childhood experiences of emotional bullying, physical assault, and
  sexual abuse related to neglect are associated with higher posttraumatic stress in response to
  shame experiences in adults. The participants with higher posttraumatic stress report a greater
  tendency to avoid social interactions when feeling shame. Childhood adversity can contribute
  to higher posttraumatic stress in response to shame experiences. As a result, one has lower
  expectations of social support and tends to avoid social interactions when feeling shame.
