Abstract
Objectives We examined whether symptoms of pathologic drinking are positively related to the subjective experience of shame and negatively related to self-forgiveness. We also tested a theory-based prediction that the association of alcohol misuse to self-forgiveness would be especially pronounced among individuals scoring high on shame. Methods Five hundred sixty-seven college students provided self-report data pertaining to the variables of interest. Results Shame moderated the association between alcohol and self-forgiveness. Specifically, high levels of self-forgiveness were related to low levels of alcohol misuse, but only within the high-shame subgroup. Conclusions These findings tentatively suggest the ability to forgive oneself may reduce the likelihood of alcohol and other drug abuse among people who experience high levels of shame. Pending replication, secondary prevention intervention research may wish to test whether inculcation of self-forgiveness is a health protective form of emotion-focused coping that produces therapeutic benefits in substance abusers who are not yet in treatment and who have a shame-based identity.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
