Description

This study examines the relationship between humiliating experiences in both childhood and adulthood and social restriction level as an adult. Participants completed a two-part, web-based survey that included adapted versions of the Humiliation Inventory and the Participation Scale as well as demographic questions. Non-binary persons were found to have a significantly higher restriction level than men or women. Statistical analysis also indicated a strong positive correlation between humiliation and social restriction. The possible life-altering effect of being humiliated, particularly as a child, undergirds the need for dignity-based school policies that prevent humiliation from occurring in the school environment
