“…Internalization of parental rules has been studied in young children as the ability to abstain from wrongdoing and the development of conscience. Kochanska and colleagues have published extensively on this topic, demonstrating consistently and repeatedly that a child's ability to internalize parents' rules and successfully demonstrate conscience is directly related to the parent-child relationship and to maternal responsivity (e.g., Kochanska, 1994;Kochanska & Aksan, 2004Kochanska, Barry, Aksan, & Boldt, 2008).
