Personality Organization and Depressive Symptoms Among Psychiatric Outpatients The Mediating Role of Shame
Previous research has demonstrated relations between lower level of personality organization (PO) and multiple indices of mental health disturbances. The goal of this research was to examine whether experience of shame would mediate the relationship between PO and depressive symptoms in a sample of 321 Croatian psychiatric outpatients (64% female ; mean age, 38.67 years). The total PO level exhibited positive associations with depressive symptoms and with all three subscales of shame ( p < 0.01). Characterological, behavioral, and bodily shame showed significant mediating effects in the PO-depression relationship, while controlling for the influence of age and sex. PO level seems to be strongly related to depressive disturbances, with the experience of shame representing one of the underlying mechanisms of this relationship. Given that patients with personality disorders (i.e., low PO level) suffer from poorer treatment outcomes for major mental disorders, more emphasis should be placed on psychotherapeutic management of shame-proneness.
