Swedish shame scale under study

NCT ID NCT07206966

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a Swedish version of a short 8-question shame scale called the External and Internal Shame Scale (EISS). Researchers will ask 350 adults—300 from the public and 50 from a clinic—to fill out the scale and compare it with other questionnaires. The goal is to see if the Swedish version accurately measures shame, which could help mental health research.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If the Swedish version works well, researchers will have a quick, reliable tool to measure shame in Swedish-speaking populations, aiding mental health studies.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early validation study, not a treatment trial. The scale may not perform as well in all groups, and it only measures shame, not health outcomes.
