Carl rogers would explain that It results from a psychological conflict between Jeff's personal desire to stay up late and the opinion adopted from his parents that it is wrong to stay up late.

Since Jeff is experiencing the pressure to fulfill his parents' wishes, he felt that he's betraying them in some ways by staying up late, which resulted in the emotion of guilt.
