## Resource

What is the psychology of shame? Is the experience of shame a human universal? How can we investigate the nature of shame across cultures? David and Tamler dive into Richard Shweder's "Towards a Deep Cultural Psychology of Shame." We talk about the methodological challenges of studying shame in other contexts and languages, the virtues of ethnographic approaches, studying literature, and more. Plus, bloody hell are the Brits starting queues at pubs? Bollocks! Queueing in pubs disgraces Britain by Will Dunn [newstatesmen.com] Shweder, R. A. (2003). Toward a deep cultural psychology of shame. Social Research: An International Quarterly , 70 (4), 1100-1129. [muse.jhu.edu]
