ABSTRACT
Individual moral behaviour is motivated by shame and moral identity. As a part of self-identity, moral identity is assumed to be influenced by shame, but there is no research proving the assumption. This study aims to evaluate the correlation between shame and moral identity using a quantitative approach. The participants of the study were 520 undergraduate students, 379 females and 141 males, from several regions in Indonesia, mainly Jakarta, West Java, East Java, Central Java, Bali, Aceh and Banten. Pearson product moment was used to test correlation. The result showed a small but significant correlation between shame and moral identity (r = 0.149; p < 0.01). The result of the study encourages the use of shame-based moral education in schools and other education institutions.
