“…Notwithstanding the consideration of shame as an adaptive emotion, high levels of shame are associated with severe social difficulties, and have been consistently linked to the development and maintenance of different mental health conditions [11,12], specifically depression [e.g., 4,13,26] and eating psychopathology [14][15][16][17].…”

“…Regarding eating psychopathology, shame has been regarded as a central feature [16,19,20]. In fact, several studies have shown that eating disorders' patients, when compared to nonclinical groups, report higher levels of shame even after treatment [16,19,21,22].…”

“…Additionally, literature suggests that pathological dieting and drive for thinness can function as a threat regulation strategy used to face shame [15,23]. Moreover, Ferreira et al [16] suggest that the control over weight or body shape may emerge as strategy to compete for social acceptance on women who present higher levels of external shame, and feel under pressure to attend to the social group's demands.…”

Shame feelings often lead individuals to adopt compensatory mechanisms, such as the minimization of the public display or disclosure of mistakes and the active promotion of perfect qualities, conceptualized as perfectionistic self-presentation. Although perfectionism is considered a central characteristic of disordered eating, the investigation on the specific domain of body image-related perfectionistic self-presentation and on its relationship with psychopathology is still scarce.The main aim of the present study was exploring the moderator effect of body image-related perfectionistic self-presentation on the associations of shame with depressive symptomatology, and with eating psychopathology, in a sample of 487 women.Results revealed that body image-related perfectionistic self-presentation showed a significant moderator effect on the relationships of external shame with depressive symptomatology, and with eating psychopathology severity, exacerbating shame's impact on this psychopathological indices. These findings appear to offer important clinical and investigational implications, highlighting the maladaptive character of such body image-focused strategies.

Objective: Shame is broadly implicated in the development and maintenance of eating pathology. However, the relationship between shame and binge eating symptoms specifically is less clear. This review aimed to clarify what types of shame are associated with binge eating symptoms and the antecedents and maintenance factors in these relationships.Method: A systematic search for quantitative and qualitative empirical studies was conducted to identify evidence of the relationship between shame and binge eating symptoms. Altogether, 270 articles were identified and screened for eligibility in the review.Results: Results of the relevant empirical studies (n = 31) identified several types of shame associated with binge eating pathology: (i) internal shame, (ii) external shame, (iii) body shame and (iv) binge eating-related shame, as well as several mechanisms and pathways through which shame was associated with binge eating symptoms.Discussion: Drawing from the research findings, this review presents an original, integrated model of the cyclical shame-binge eating relationship. Clinical interventions that might break this cycle are discussed, as well as methodological weaknesses which limit causal inferences and important areas of future research.
