Successful socialization replaces external control with internal self-sanctions.

Evidence

Self-regulation via self-sanctions is manifested in two ways. The first involves the exercise of restraint over behavior that violates one’s standards, even when it is unlikely to be detected. The second is experienced as guilt, remorse, self-criticism, and attempts at restitution for having behaved transgressively. Successful socialization aims to substitute self-control for external social control. — Albert Bandura, Moral Disengagement, 69
