Summary

What drives us to climb that highest mountain? And what do we subsequently feel when we realize we are extremely bad at mountain climbing and decide to fake an injury to get helicoptered back to base camp? The emotions that shape these events and our responses to them – pride and shame – play a central role in motivating and regulating many of people’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors (Tangney & Tracy, 2012). These self-conscious emotions drive people to work hard to succeed (Stipek, 1995; Weiner, 1985) and to behave in moral and pro-social ways in their relationships (Baumeister, Stillwell, & Heatherton, 1994; Leith & Baumeister, 1998; Retzinger, 1987). Yet despite their centrality to psychological functioning, pride and shame did not receive the same attention from early emotion researchers as the so-called basic emotions, such as joy, fear, and sadness (Campos, 1995; Fischer & Tangney, 1995).
