DEVELOPMENT OF GUILT
Guilt is a sense of feeling
responsible for one’s actions,
particularly when harm has
been done to oneself or
others.
As to stages in developing
guilt, the first rudimentary
feelings of guilt begin when
children think they have
caused some kind of harm to
others.
Anticipatory Guilt is felt
when the child sees
consequences that are
detrimental to oneself or
others (e.g. stealing an item
may cause others to grieve
losing a prized possession)

Meanwhile, Survivor Guilt is

experienced when one feels
blameworthy regardless of
environment.
