法律的社会化研究者在很大程度上忽视了情感在法律的社会化过程和参与犯罪中的重要性。当前研究的目的是论证道德情感的潜在重要性（例如，内疚）在法律的社会化，并采取初步措施，将情感成分融入现有的模式。本研究探讨是否道德情感的内疚，使用倾向和预期的措施，将预测违规行为（RVB）的一部分，综合认知法律的社会化模型。该研究使用了来自474名参与者的调查数据，这些参与者是青少年违规行为纵向研究的一部分。结果表明，内疚倾向与法律的推理平行地作为RVB的预测因子，而预期内疚与规范态度的中介因子平行地作为中介因子。执行情况（即，感觉人们应该因犯下RVB而受到惩罚）介导了内疚倾向和RVB之间的关系，而规范状态（即，预期内疚在法律的推理与RVB之间起中介作用。这些发现有助于通过展示情感在法律的社会化理论中的独特贡献来推进法律的社会化，并为该领域的未来研究提供了基础。情感在整合认知法律的社会化模型和程序正义法律的社会化模型中的作用的影响和未来的进一步调查的方向进行了讨论。
Legal socialization researchers have largely ignored the importance of emotion in the legal socialization process and engagement in crime. The purpose of the current study was to argue the potential importance of moral emotions (e.g., guilt) in legal socialization and take a preliminary step to integrate an emotion component into an existing model. The current study investigated whether the moral emotion of guilt, using both proneness and anticipatory measures, would predict rule-violating behavior (RVB) as part of the integrated cognitive legal socialization model. The study used survey data from 474 participants who were part of a longitudinal study of adolescent rule-violating behavior. Results showed that guilt proneness functioned as a predictor of RVB in parallel with legal reasoning, while anticipatory guilt served as a mediator in parallel with normative attitude mediators. Enforcement status (i.e., feeling people should be punished for committing RVB) mediated the relation between guilt proneness and RVB, while normative status (i.e., approval for engaging in RVB) and anticipatory guilt mediated the relation between legal reasoning and RVB. These findings help to advance legal socialization by demonstrating the unique contribution of emotion in legal socialization theory and provide a foundation for future research in this area. The implications for the role of emotion in both the integrated cognitive legal socialization model and the procedural justice legal socialization model and future directions for further inquiry are discussed.
