Relevant too would be the complementary notions, in Buddhist Abhidharma, of hrI and apatrApya, roughly conscience and a sense of shame. They're of interest in particular because of the explicit distinction between self-regarding and other-regarding moral attitudes made in this context. I'm not sure that there are dedicated studies on just this topic, but any good work on the abhidhamma/abhidharma will deal with this at some point.

My JAOS article “On Atmatusti as a Source of Dharma” also addresses the idea of conscience. Hope these are useful.
