Abstract

Article title: The politics of shame in the motivation to virtue: Lessons from the shame, pride, and humility experiences of LGBT conservative Christians and their allies Authors: Tobin, T. W. and Moon, D. Journal: Journal of Moral EducationBibliometrics: Volume 48, Number 1, pages 109-125 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/03057240.2018.1534088 In the final version of the above article errors were introduced in the placement and order of notes 2-4, and in the respondent's heart rate on p.114. These errors have been corrected as follows: Notes 2-4 placed correctly in the text and corrected in the endnote section: Page 121 2. Cisgender means agreeing with the sex assignment given at birth; not transgender. 3. We leave open the possibility that anger may be a morally appropriate and psychologically healthy response in extreme conditions of structural injustice or oppression that routinely assault their personhood and psyche (hooks, 1995; Lugones, 2003). 4. Alicia Crosby, of the CFI, assisted us by interviewing LGBTQI people of color who might not have wished to be interviewed by white women. After being briefed on our interviewing methods by Moon, she conducted 40 of our 113 interviews, averaging 60 minutes. 5. As a qualitative sociologist, Moon trained Tobin in these methods. Page 114-corrected paragraph Many LGBT participants speak of experiencing shame's effects as toxic, poisoning not just relationships, but their mental and even physical health. Some speak of depression and attempts at suicide, and others speak of surprising physical consequences, including a black respondent in her twenties being hospitalized with uncontrollable asthma attacks, a healthy mixed-race respondent in her early twenties being hospitalized with a heart rate of 19, and a former Nashville Christian music superstar contracting a rare and life-threatening auto-immune disorder (Strudwick, 2014), all of which doctors could only attribute to the intense stress caused by their shame around gender and sexuality and the fear that they would lose their places in the church. © 2019, © 2019 Journal of Moral Education Ltd.
