==Notes==

Not the same as the Freudian superego. Maslow distinguishes the superego (internalized approvals/disapprovals of others) from intrinsic conscience (an inner demand rooted in one’s own nature).<Ref>A. H. Maslow, ''Towards a Psychology of Being'' (2nd Edition) (New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold Company, 1968).</ref>

Violation produces [[Intrinsic Guilt.]] Intrinsic guilt is the result of betraying the self/inner nature—“turning off the path to self-actualization”—and is therefore a form of justified self-disapproval, not merely social sham.<Ref>A. H. Maslow, ''Towards a Psychology of Being'' (2nd Edition) (New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold Company, 1968).</ref>

The “intrinsic conscience” is "based upon the unconscious and preconscious perception of our own nature, of our own destiny, or our own capacities, of our own 'call' in life. It insists that we be true to our inner nature and that we do not deny it out of weakness or for advantage or for any other reason."<Ref>A. H. Maslow, Towards a Psychology of Being (2nd Edition) (New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold Company, 1968). p. 7.</ref>
