Dw. Harder et al., ADDITIONAL VALIDITY EVIDENCE FOR THE HARDER PERSONAL FEELINGS QUESTIONNAIRE-2 (PFQ2) - A MEASURE OF SHAME AND GUILT PRONENESS, Journal of clinical psychology, 49(3), 1993, pp. 345-348
The present study sought to provide additional evidence for the constr
uct validity of the Harder (Harder & Zalma, 1990) Personal Feelings Qu
estionnaire-2 (PFQ2), a recently revised measure of shame and guilt pr
oneness. Seventy university students, 35 male and 35 female, completed
the PFQ2 and scales that assess self-derogation, instability of self-
concept, shyness, social anxiety, public self-consciousness, private s
elf-consciousness, and locus of control. The correlational results wer
e generally consistent with validity predictions. As in previous studi
es, however, the discriminant validity of the shame and guilt scales w
as supported, but not strongly.
