guilt proneness

Guilt proneness refers to how naturally and easily a person feels guilt when they believe they've done something wrong or harmful. It’s a personality trait that influences how often and intensely someone experiences guilt, which can motivate them to make amends and behave ethically. People with high guilt proneness tend to be more sensitive to their actions' impact on others, leading to a stronger moral awareness. Conversely, those with low guilt proneness may feel less disturbed by their mistakes, potentially affecting their sense of accountability and interpersonal relationships.
