That's shame.
If you get the paperback and you get a D and you're like, wow, going out last night, not studying for this test was really stupid.
That's a focus on behavior and that's guilt.
Why is it important in parenting?
Because in the first longitudinal nested cohort studies of kids, we see that shame-bound kids are more likely to have significant struggles with alcohol, drugs, sexual irresponsibility,
aggression, depression, suicidal attempts, I mean, across the board.
Guilt-prone kids, this is what the crazy part of the study is, even less likely to engage in those behaviors than the general population.
So the way we measure shame and guilt is by self-talk.
When something goes wrong, how do I talk to myself?
We believe that the number one variable that presented, that predicted self-talk was parenting style.
So your kid does something and you say, God, you're so stupid versus riding your bike up that ramp with your friends was a really stupid thing to do.
Very big difference.
Today, I think we're beginning to question whether the parenting style is the big predictor or the only one, because we can have siblings within one family that are wired different for it.
This just keeps getting worse.
So what's interesting there is how that message hits.
So if that message hits, I've engaged in a series of behaviors that let down people that are important to me.
That's probably an indicator of behavior change.
If that message, which is as likely, hits as, I am a disappointment to the people I care about most, that is a super detrimental trauma-based response.
So it really depends on...
That's why the parenting piece is really important because by the time you're this person and you're probably in your early 20s.
