This article criticizes humanistic theories that relate moral behavior to the drive for self-actualization, and instead proposes a multidimensional model of the humanistic conscience that stresses the integration of conative, affective, and rational processes within the person. In a study of 30 persons, this form of conscience was found to correlate positively with humanistic core values in the family-of-origin and the experience of humanistic/flexible child-rearing modes. It also correlated positively with late adolescent or adult moral life crises that resulted in a deepened sense of moral character
