The instrument used was a semi-structured interview based on the clinical method proposed by Piaget, containing questions regarding the design of shame and the moral judgment of this feeling. The data reveal that the judgment of moral value of shame involves content that is equivalent to both an external and internal controls, being the judgment and/or other people's looks and self-judgment, respectively, the more frequently cited categories. We expect to contribute to the study of the moral concerns of college students and to the study of the sense of shame and affectivity in the moral psychology.
