HOW CAN GUILT BE BENEFICIAL

My essential question is “how can guilt be beneficial”, and the category was social

People who feel guilt are more proactive in the things they do

My source was an article by apa.org called “guilt can do good”

"When people feel guilt, they tend to focus on behavior. Guilt is more proactive."

Throughout this article, June Tagney compares guilt and shame, and tests this on 550 fifth graders, then again when they’re in 8th grade, then again when they were 18. She found that those more prone to shame drank at a younger age, wouldn’t apply for college, and were more likely to commit suicide. When she tested the ones who were more prone to guilt, They were less likely to try drugs, less likely to become criminals, and less likely to commit suicide

How Guilt Can Benefit Those Around You

This was my initial eq and serves better as something to ask under the actual eq

“Finally, guilt can redistribute emotions. If you feel guilty over not taking out the garbage, chances are your spouse, who wanted the garbage taken out, will feel better knowing that”

In an article by the LA Times, they said that guilt benefits others because if you have wronged someone in any way, them knowing that you feel guilt could possibly make them feel better knowing you feel that way.

IN CONCLUSION

In conclusion, guilt is beneficial because the people who learn to act on that guilt will be more proactive in life, and people knowing that you feel guilt will feel better knowing that you feel guilt
