Question

A child age 5 years wakes up at night and finds he has wet the bed. He feels embarrassed that he had this accident and sleeps in the wet bed all night, afraid to tell his parents. In the morning, he wakes up early, gets dressed, and hides his pajamas because he still feels shame for this accident. This child is experiencing which feeling of self-evaluation?

Answer 1

Shame

Step-by-step explanation:

The child is very embarrassed to pee in bed, probably her parents informed her that bed peeing was not correct for a child her age and that she should avoid such behavior because it was very inappropriate. The child was embarrassed to fail to order not to pee in bed and this led to a self-assessment of this incident. From this we can state that this child is experiencing shame as a feeling of self-evaluation.
