“…Both women and men were well represented. Representation of racial and ethnic minorities, however, was sparse and relegated to cross-cultural validation studies [29,30] or refugees [31]. Most employed a retrospective, cross-sectional design with thirteen studies reporting on longitudinal data [30,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43].…”

Background: Despite considerable progress in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a large percentage of individuals remain symptomatic following gold-standard therapies. One route to improving care is examining affective disturbances that involve other emotions beyond fear and threat. A growing body of research has implicated shame in PTSD’s development and course, although to date no review of this specific literature exists. This scoping review investigated the link between shame and PTSD and sought to identify research gaps. Methods: A systematic database search of PubMed, PsycInfo, Embase, Cochrane, and CINAHL was conducted to find original quantitative research related to shame and PTSD. Results: Forty-seven studies met inclusion criteria. Review found substantial support for an association between shame and PTSD as well as preliminary evidence suggesting its utility as a treatment target. Several design limitations and under-investigated areas were recognized, including the need for a multimodal assessment of shame and more longitudinal and treatment-focused research. Conclusion: This review provides crucial synthesis of research to date, highlighting the prominence of shame in PTSD, and its likely relevance in successful treatment outcomes. The present review serves as a guide to future work into this critical area of study.

“…This makes victimisation from chikan less traumatic than other 'more serious' sexual crimes such as rape. It is far less likely to result in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) than other negative sexual experiences (Uji et al 2007). Another study shows that chikan victimisation is not essential for the development of an eating disorder, while it is more likely to be the case for other sex crimes (Nagata et al 1999).…”

Women-only train carriages have been introduced in Japan as a response to widespread groping (chikan) by men. In August 2007, 155 young women completed a survey at a variety of locations in central Tokyo, mainly at the popular meeting places, Shinjuku and Shibuya. The survey involved face-to-face interviews conducted mainly by young female interviewers. The numbers involved are insufficient for rigorous statistical analysis and in this pilot study we were principally interested in further refining ideas and hypotheses for further investigation by considering results in the context of significant contemporary social trends. This article starts by considering a particular cultural context in which the issue of groping resulted in the introduction of women-only train carriages and this official antigroping measure which has been widely accepted. The article then examines women's responses to the availability of women-only train carriages, using surveys carried out in Tokyo. It concludes by considering the specific and anomalous targeting of primarily middle aged 'salarymen', a focus understood in the context of the collapse of the ideological power of the patriarchal corporate figure associated with the end of the Japanese economic miracle. Women's use and support for women-only train carriages is not solely dominated by anxiety over the risk of chikan. Our survey indicated that it was a symbolic rejection of a particular type of masculinity, rather than the physical separation from a risk of being groped.

“…Shame and guilt are also hypothesized as factors associated with PTSD symptom in victims of sexual violence (Feiring et al, 1996;Uji et al, 2007). Previous studies on neurocognitive functioning in combat veterans with PTSD showed identifiable impairments in attention, learning, memory, and executive functioning (Beckham et al, 1998;Vasterling et al, 2002).…”
