羞耻（Shame），为一种情感、情绪、认知、状态或条件。

19世纪的科学家查尔斯·达尔文在他的著作中人与动物产生羞耻感时会头脑混乱，目光向下投，姿势松弛，低头，他指出意见羞耻应是世界性的。他还指出强烈的羞耻会使脸和皮肤产生温暖或热感。

Shame is a painful, social emotion that can be seen as resulting "...from comparison of the self's action with the self's standards...". but which may equally stem from comparison of the self's state of being with the ideal social context's standard. Thus, shame may stem from volitional action or simply self-regard; no action by the shamed being is required: simply existing is enough. Both the comparison and standards are enabled by socialization. Though usually considered an emotion, shame may also variously be considered an affect, cognition, state, or condition.
