Note. Race was coded 0 = White/Caucasion, 1 = African American. Low SES was coded 0 = no public assistance, 1 = receiving public assistance. Thus, percentages can be interpreted to mean that 67% of the sample was African American, and 53% had lower SES (i.e., receiving public assistance). BPD symptoms = borderline personality disorder dimensional scores, calculated based on the sum of the nine BPD item scores from the Structured Interview for DSM-IV Personality (SIDP-IV; Pfohl, Blum, & Zimmerman, 1997). Hostile Irritability was calculated based on the mean of hostility and irritability ratings from ecological momentary assessment (EMA) protocol.

^┼Descriptive statistics are presented for measures of shame, guilt, and hostile irritability aggregated within individuals across the entire EMA protocol. Thus, ranges for these measures represent the range of individual means across repeated measures, rather than the range of momentary scores (which ranged from 1 to 5). Means and correlations were computed prior to log transformation of affect variables.
