Empirical findings on the associations of positive and dysfunctional parent--child relationship (PPCR/DPCR) characteristics with child shame, adaptive guilt, and maladaptive guilt were synthesized in six meta-analyses. The 65 included samples yielded 633 effect sizes (N[subscript total] = 19,144; M[subscript age] = 15.24 years; 59.0% female; 67.7% U.S. samples, n = 12,036 with 65% White, 12.3% Hispanic and Latinx, 10.8% Black, 6.3% mixed race, 5.6% Asian American, 0.3% Native American participants). Small positive correlations were found between DPCR and shame (r = 0.17), DPCR and maladaptive guilt (r = 0.15), and PPCR and adaptive guilt (r = 0.14). A small negative correlation was found between PPCR and shame (r = -0.12). Sample and study moderators and sources of bias are investigated and discussed.
