Shame and Gender in Transcultural Contexts: Resourceful Investigations
暫譯: 跨文化背景下的羞恥與性別：資源豐富的研究

本卷旨在成為研究、學習和概念的主要參考資料，透過性別的視角以及跨學科、文化和跨文化的觀點來探討羞恥。它從正向心理學的立場，揭示了關於羞恥的最新研究成果及其在性別背景下的意義，涵蓋理論、概念和實證的視角。由於羞恥的體驗、表達以及個人或集體對羞恥的處理在特定程度上依賴於文化因素，因此各章節特別重視文化框架條件的考量。本卷的基礎是編輯們在正向心理學視角下關於羞恥的前三部出版物，以及即將出版的關於羞恥與老化的著作。
