Conscience A person’s conscious system of moral values or that part of the self which the person experiences as giving voice to these values-i.e. “my higher self says I should not do this.”

According to Freudian psychoanalysis, the conscience differs from the superego in that the former refers to moral values, the “still, small voices”, which we hold in our conscious mind. The superego, on the other hand, contains moral values that, in part, are unconscious.
