Moral standards form from the reactions of emotionally attached others

Evidence

Individuals draw on a variety of sources in constructing their standards of morality (Bandura, 1986), partly from how significant people in their lives have reacted to the rightness and wrongness of their behavior. They are especially influenced by the evaluative reactions of those to whom they are emotionally attached and whose views they value. — Albert Bandura, Moral Disengagement, 215
