When other people know about our misdeeds, we may feel a sense of accountability or responsibility to make up for our flaws. This can lead us to engage in helpful behaviour as a way of redeeming ourselves in the eyes of others. In contrast, when no one knows about our misdeeds or we are not guilty of them, we may not feel the same sense of urgency to make up for our actions through helpful behaviour.
