The present study investigated gender differences in interpersonal sensitivity and internalized shame coping strategies in 252 undergraduate students. To measure interpersonal sensitivity and shame coping strategies, the self-assessment forms Interpersonal Sensitivity Measure and Compass of Shame Scale were used. The analyses revealed that compared to men, women display interpersonal sensitivity to a higher degree, and they use internalized shame coping strategies to a greater extent. The results also showed that interpersonal sensitivity is highly correlated with shame coping strategies. However, in contrast to earlier research, no gender difference was found, and gender did not significantly mediate the association between interpersonal sensitivity and internalized shame coping. These results could aid clinicians and researchers in promoting, designing, delivering, and evaluating treatments for patients with, for example, depression, anxiety, and interpersonal and/or relational problems.

羞耻感和人际敏感性：性别差异以及内在的羞耻应对策略与人际关系之间的关联。

本研究调查了252名本科生在人际交往敏感性和内在羞辱应对策略方面的性别差异。为了衡量人际敏感性和羞耻应对策略，使用了“人际敏感性测量”和“羞辱量表指南针”的自我评估形式。分析表明，与男性相比，女性在人际交往上表现出更高的敏感性，她们在更大程度上使用内在的羞辱应对策略。结果还表明，人际交往的敏感性与羞耻应对策略高度相关。但是，与早期的研究相比，没有发现性别差异，并且性别没有显着调节人际关系敏感性与内在的羞辱应对之间的联系。这些结果可以帮助临床医生和研究人员促进，
