“…According to Lazarus (1991), shame results when blame is attributed to oneself, whereas anger results when blame is attributed to another person. Miller (1995) demonstrated that individuals who are prone to experience embarrassment reported a heightened concern for others' evaluations, including a fear of negative evaluation, a concern for approval, and a motive to avoid social exclusion. This characterization seems to be fairly in line with that of the approval-seeking and evaluation-dependent per-son described by Crowne and Marlowe (1964) and Crowne (1979).…”

In this study, the relationship between repressive and defensive coping styles and somatovisceral responses as well as emotion self-reports were investigated in 2 situational contexts conceived to induce fear and anger. Anxiety (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory; L. Laux, P. Glanzmann, P. Schaffner, & C. D. Spielberger, 1981) × Defensiveness (Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale; D. P. Crowne & D. Marlowe, 1960) × Emotion (fear, anger) moderated regression analyses revealed that compared with baseline during fear, defensiveness was related to a decrease in heart rate variability. Also during fear, repressive-defensive copers had lower self-reports of negative affect but showed higher behavioral negative affect (m. corrugator reactivity) than other participants. During anger, defensiveness was positively related to both diastolic blood pressure reactivity and m. zygomaticus reactivity. Additional analyses showed that emotional responses of repressivedefensive copers were strongly moderated by the situational context.The history of the repressive-defensive coping style began with the development of the Byrne Repression-Sensitization scale (see Bell & Byrne, 1978). This measure evolved from the perceptual defense literature (e.g., Eriksen, 1966) in which repressors were defined as individuals who have heightened recognition thresholds for anxiety-provoking stimuli. But soon it emerged that the Byrne scale had limited discriminant validity because of its high correlation with trait anxiety measures (e.g., Weinberger, Schwartz, & Davidson, 1979).The repressive coping research progressed with the development of the Marlowe-Crowne (MC) Social Desirability Scale (Crowne & Marlowe, 1960) that was originally constructed for the assessment of so-cially desirable responding as a response style. Within 4 years, however, Crowne and Marlowe (1964) recognized that their scale was primarily measuring a substantive individual difference dimension rather than a response bias. Since that time, a formidable body of research has demonstrated that high-MC scorers generally believe what they are reporting and attempt to behave accordingly (e.g., Derakshan & Eysenck, 1999;McCrae & Costa, 1983). However, this insight does not rule out that high-MC scorers can also exaggerate, cheat, and lie, if necessary, to ensure that others recognize their good character or to avoid social disapproval (e.g., Millham, 1974;Paulhus & John, 1998).The core motive behind the excessively agreeable and conforming behavior of high-MC scorers seems to be the maintenance of an idealized self-concept, particularly by the defensive avoidance of negative affect such as anxiety or anger (Crowne & Marlowe, 1964, pp. 150, 190) and the prevention of threat to self-esteem from anticipated social rejection (e.g.,

“…El BFNE demostró una buena consistencia interna (α = 0,90 -0,91) y una fiabilidad testretest a 4 semanas alta (r = 0,75) en muestras de universitarios (Leary, 1983b;Miller, 1995). Weeks et al (2005) obtuvieron para población no clínica una consistencia interna moderada para el BFNE y el BFNE-R (α = 0,67), y alta para el BFNE-S (α = 0,90).…”

“…Con respecto a su validez convergente, los estudios llevados a cabo en muestras de universitarios indicaron una correlación alta entre el BFNE y el FNE (r = 0,96) (Leary, 1983a;Miller, 1995) y moderada con otras medidas de fobia social (Leary, 1983a); Social Avoidance and Distress (SAD) -Anxiety subescale (r = 0,35), SAD -Avoidance subescale (r = 0,19) (Watson y Friend, 1969), y Interaction Anxiousness Scale (r = 0,32) (IAS; Leary, 1983c). Los estudios llevados a cabo en población clínica (Weeks et al, 2005) también muestran una correlación moderada entre el BFNE y otras medidas de fobia social: Liebowitch Social Anxiety Scale (r = 0,56) (LSAS; Liebowitz, 1987), Social Interaction Anxiety Scale (r = exclusión fueron: a) alcoholismo, b) adicción a drogas, c) depresión mayor, d) psicosis, y e) retraso mental.…”

“…Öğrencilerin sosyo-demografik özellikleri ile utanmaya yatkınlık düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkinin tespit edilmesine yönelik yapılan analizlerin sonucunda kız öğrencilerin erkek öğrencilere göre utanmaya yatkınlık düzeylerinin daha yüksek olduğu saptanmıştır. Çalışmayı destekler nitelikteki benzer bir sonuç; Miller (1995) tarafından yapılan çalışmada da ortaya çıkmıştır. Buna karşın Maltby ve Day (2000;753) tarafından yapılan çalışmada cinsiyetler arasındaki puanlamada herhangi bir farkın bulunmadığı tespit edilmiştir.…”

ÖzBu araştırmanın amacını turizm rehberliği öğrencilerinin utanmaya yatkınlık düzeylerinin belirlenmesi oluşturmaktadır. Turizm rehberliği eğitimi alan öğrencilerin utanmaya ne ölçüde yatkınlık gösterdiklerini belirlemek amacıyla Kelly ve Jones (1997) tarafından geliştirilen ve daha sonra pek çok çalışmada kullanılan "Utanmaya Yatkınlık Ölçeği"nden yararlanılmıştır. Turizm rehberliği öğrencilerinin utanmaya yatkınlık düzeyleri, Balıkesir Üniversitesi Turizm Fakültesi Turizm Rehberliği bölümünde öğrenim gören 297 öğrencinin katılımıyla araştırılmıştır. Yapılan analizler sonucunda turizm rehberliği öğrencilerinin utanmaya yatkınlık seviyelerinin düşük olduğu saptanmıştır. Kız öğrencilerin erkek öğrencilere oranla utanmaya daha yatkın oldukları, bunun yanı sıra yaş ve sınıf değişkenlerinin artması ile utanmaya yatkınlık seviyelerinin de düştüğü tespit edilmiştir.Anahtar Kelimeler: Utanma, Utanmaya Yatkınlık, Turizm Rehberliği Öğrencileri. AbstractThe purpose of this study is to determine the level of susceptibility to embarrassment of tourism guiding students. In order to identify the extent to which tourism guiding students have a tendency to embarrassment, the "susceptibility to embarrassment scale" was utilized that was developed by Kelly and Jones (1997), and used in many studies later on. The level of susceptibility to embarrassment of tourism guiding students was researched with the participation of 297 students who have educated in Balıkesir University Tourism Faculty Tourism Guiding department. As a result of the analysis, it was found out that tourism guiding students had low levels of susceptibility to embarrassment. It was also confirmed that the female students were more inclined than the male students, besides the level of susceptibility to embarrassment was also effected by growing age and class.
