Identification with a stigmatized group, such as people experiencing homelessness, is an important contributor to shame. Shame is relevant to issues of the self, other-generated conceptualizations of the self, and rule-governed behavior. Contextual behavioral science outlines a philosophically sound, theoretically coherent, evidence-based account of the self that lends itself to empirical work. More specifically, recent developments in relational frame theory have resulted in a behavioral measure of both self and other discriminations and types of rule-governed behavior evident in naturally occurring language, namely the Functional Self-Discrimination Measure (FSDM). Using the FSDM with a sample of adults experiencing homelessness (n = 22), the present study examined the relationships between occurrences of self and other discriminations and shame, well-being, and psychological inflexibility. The present study also explored whether occurrences of self, other, and rules codes were related. Findings indicated that both shame and psychological inflexibility were associated with greater unfavorable self-evaluations and greater references to rule-governed behavior and the self as distinct from private events. Well-being was associated with greater favorable self-evaluations and greater references to values-oriented self-rules and beliefs. Findings are discussed with reference to a need to further refine existing FSDM codes, examine FSDM data at more than one time-point, and explore other aspects of relational responding in addition to the frequency of occurrence in natural-language speech.

认同被污名化的群体，例如无家可归的人，是造成耻辱的重要因素。羞耻感与自我问题、他人对自我的概念化以及受规则支配的行为有关。情境行为科学概述了一种哲学上合理、理论上连贯、以证据为基础的自我解释，适用于实证工作。更具体地说，关系框架理论的最新发展导致了对自我和其他歧视的行为测量以及在自然发生的语言中明显的规则支配行为类型，即功能性自我歧视测量（FSDM）。将 FSDM 与无家可归的成年人样本（n = 22)，本研究检验了自我和其他歧视的发生与羞耻、幸福感和心理僵化之间的关系。本研究还探讨了自我、他人和规则代码的出现是否相关。研究结果表明，羞耻感和心理上的僵化都与更不利的自我评价和更多地提及受规则支配的行为和与私人事件不同的自我有关。幸福感与更有利的自我评价和更多参考以价值观为导向的自我规则和信仰有关。参考进一步完善现有 FSDM 代码、检查多个时间点的 FSDM 数据、
