This study considers how judgements of relative social rank (inferior‐superior) and shame may be related to interpersonal problems and psychopathology. Recall of parental care, overprotection, put‐down/shaming and favouritism in relation to current perceptions of interpersonal problems and self‐perceptions of shame and submissive behaviour were investigated. Findings suggest that perceptions of early experiences of put‐down/shaming by parents and being a non‐favoured child are salient variables in vulnerability to interpersonal problems and psychopathology‐proneness.
