The current study examined the moderating role of shame proneness on the association between physical, psychological, and sexual intimate partner violence victimization and depressive and anxious symptoms among male and female college students (N = 967). Students completed self-report measures of dating violence, depression, anxiety, and shame proneness. Results showed that shame proneness moderated the association between all forms of victimization and mental health symptoms. A three-way interaction revealed that sexual victimization predicted symptoms of anxiety to a greater extent for men than for women at high levels of shame proneness. Furthermore, results showed that gender moderated the association between physical and psychological victimization and health outcomes, such that victimization was related to increased depressive and anxious symptoms for men but not for women. Interpretations of these findings are discussed in relation to violence interventions, including primary prevention, and men's health.

- A study of Lithuanian women revealed that, despite a lower preterm birth rate, these women exhibit higher levels of birth-related PTSD, with guilt and shame being common emotional responses that may affect their recovery.
- Results indicated that while higher PTSD symptoms were linked to greater post-traumatic growth, those prone to shame experienced a weakened growth relationship, highlighting the need for targeted healthcare interventions and support programs for this vulnerable group.
