Shame versus guilt culture

[edit]

This article made me think of the distinction between guilt and shame culture. I would expect that low trust societies will usually be characterised by a shame culture while high trust societies would be characterised by a guilt culture. 105.242.174.191 (talk) 08:39, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

High-trust and low-trust societies and shame and guilt cultures

[edit]

Recently I read a wiki about High-trust and low-trust societies and I wondered if there are any publications or studies that do include the knowledge about guilt and shame cultures in the analysis. Fred6255 (talk) 08:56, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Could be good to have a history section

[edit]

Been seeing the expression more often lately and maybe could be good to have the origin and evolution of the term explained.

What's obvious is it predates Fukuyama's 1995 book by a bit, even Fukuyama seems to have been influenced by the essay WORK AND SOCIETY: PATTERNS OF ORGANISATIONAL CULTURE by ALFRED DIAMANT

In this paper Diamant puts Germany and France as a high trust and a low trust society respectively as examples just like Fukuyama did. Mirad1000 (talk) 05:02, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
