Brief Summary
Shame is a normal emotion that people sometimes have. Experiencing a lot of shame has however been found to have a link to ill mental and somatic health. Therefore it is of interest to have a brief way of measuring shame. External and Internal shame scale (EISS) is a questionnaire with 8 items that is available in several languages, but not yet in Swedish. The researchers have translated it to Swedish and will investigate how well the Swedish version works for measuring shame. 300 participants are enrolled via social media and asked to complete the EISS as well as two other scales for comparison. Participants are also asked about their age and gender. In addition 50 participants will be recruited from an outpatient clinic in order to check how the scale works in clinical settings. The researchers will use the answers to statistically calculate the scientific properties of the EISS.
