Abstract/Summary
The study investigates on the presence of shame among suicide attempts emotions accompanying shame and the common self-discrepancies. 20 respondents regardless of sex, economic, and marital status, who attempted suicide during their adolescence participated in the study. Each respondent answered a questionnaire to determine self-discrepancies, followed by in-depth interview to elicit emotions which led to the suicide attempt. Responses from both instruments were collected and analyzed. Shame was positively identified in the attempts but anger is the predominant emotion. Actual/Own vs. Ideal/Own and Actual/Own vs. Ought/Own are the two most common self-discrepancies.
