Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Kochanska's research has shown that children develop a conscience based on their understanding of others' emotions. Specifically, children who have a strong capacity to empathize with others and understand their emotions are more likely to develop a strong conscience. This is because they are able to internalize the moral standards and expectations of their caregivers and society more easily. Other factors such as gender, socioeconomic status, and fearfulness do not seem to have as strong of an impact on the development of conscience.
