There were 3 separate measures of physical aggression for Sample 4 (Buss & Perry’s Physical Aggression Scale, The Projective Scale, YCBC)

Note. Semi-partial correlations reflect the unique amount of variance explained by shame or guilt when controlling for the other (i.e. the guilt residual reflects “shame-free” guilt).
