TL;DR: The GASP has the potential to be an important measurement tool for detecting individuals susceptible to corruption and unethical behavior and its ability to distinguish these 2 classes of responses represents an important advantage of the scale over existing assessments.

TL;DR: The Guilt and Shame Proneness Scale (GASP) as discussed by the authors measures individual differences in the propensity to experience guilt and shame across a range of personal transgressions, and the GASP contains two guilt subscales that assess negative behavior-evaluations and repair action tendencies following private transgressions and two shame subscales which assess negative selfevaluations (NSEs) and withdrawal action tendency following publically exposed transgressions.

TL;DR: By showing that individual differences have consistent, meaningful effects on employees' behaviors, after controlling for demographic variables and basic attributes of the work setting, the results contest situationist perspectives that deemphasize the importance of personality.

TL;DR: This article found that adults with low moral character committed harmful work behaviors more frequently and helpful work behaviors less frequently than did employees with high moral character, according to their own admissions and coworkers' observations.

TL;DR: Guilt proneness is a personality trait indicative of a predisposition to experience negative feelings about personal wrongdoing, even when the wrongdoing is private as mentioned in this paper, and it is characterized by the anticipation of feeling bad about committing transgressions rather than by guilty feelings in a particular moment or generalized guilty feelings that occur without an eliciting event.
