Does shame mediate the influence of trauma on psychosis? A systematic review and meta-analytic structural equation modelling approach

Meta-analytic evidence has linked shame separately to both potentially traumatic events (PTEs) and psychosis, but the influence of shame on the relationship between PTEs and psychosis has not yet been examined. This study used meta-analytic structural equation modelling (MASEM) to examine whether shame plays a mediatory role between PTEs and experiences of psychosis.
