Inner self-censure can be overridden when loyalty conflicts with it

Evidence

Although a dutiful functionary, O’Reilly was haunted by self-devaluative reactions to her role in the doping scheme. When she was persuaded once to smuggle pills across a national border, she “felt no better than a drugs runner” (Rankin, 2013). At other times, “some of it made me ashamed.” She was caught between loyalty and self-censure. Loyalty overruled morality. — Albert Bandura, Moral Disengagement, 232
