Abstract
There have been scarcely any systematic attempts to classify situations that elicit blushing. This contrasts with research into embarrassment where there exist several schemes for categorising incidents (Miller, 1996; see also Chapter 6). The dearth of taxonomies presumably reflects the widespread assumption that blushing is simply an expression of embarrassment and hence no specific analysis of eliciting circumstances is required.
