Conviction / Principle
DEFINITION
Definition
Conviction grounds judgment in an internally established basis. Principle applies a criterion as the basis for judgment. This concerns the grounds for judgment, unlike Ideal and Norm, which present a direction or standard to others.
Do not equate internal establishment with self-righteousness, and do not equate application of standards with non-thinking.

Conviction
Use the grounds established within yourself as a foothold for judgment. Even when it comes to standards set from the outside, it appears as a way of checking whether the standards are accepted as one's own judgment.
- Explain the reasons for your judgment by linking them to what you accept as the basis.
- Even when following the standards of those around you, check how those standards hold true within you.
I am making this judgment based on this basis.
If you rely only on internally established grounds, you may not be able to provide sufficient explanations to those who do not share that basis.
Principle
Look at the criteria you can use to make decisions and apply them to reach your conclusion. The criteria used to make the judgment will be the basis of the explanation.
- Explain the reasons for the decision in connection with the conditions and criteria applied.
- Find out which criteria to use when there is disagreement.
Applying this criterion, we can make the following judgments:
If a standard is biased toward application, it may become difficult to consider the basis for adopting that standard in that situation and the limits of its applicability.
