Self-conscious emotions

Self-conscious emotions

Self-conscious emotions, such as guilt, shame, embarrassment, and pride, are emotions that relate to our sense of self and our consciousness of others' reactions to us.

Developmental Psychology

During the second year of life, these new emotions begin to emerge when children gain the understanding that they themselves are entities distinct from other people and begin to develop a sense of self. They are also fostered by children's growing sense of what adults and society expect of them. [Siegler, Robert (2006).
