Internal moral sanctioning works smoothly when standards are shared

Evidence

These effects may operate as complementary or opposing influences on behavior (Bandura, 1986). Under conditions of shared moral standards, self-regulation of moral conduct creates the fewest strains. This is because socially approved conduct is a source of self-satisfaction and self-pride, and socially punishable conduct is self-censured. — Albert Bandura, Moral Disengagement, 108
