Abstract

Emocija gađenja je zadnjih godina postala predmetom mnogobrojnih psiholoških istraživanja u okviru moralne psihologije. Nalazi tih istražianja ukazuju da emocija gađenja moţe imati određeni utjecaj u procesu moralnog rasuđivanja na način da čini moralne prosudbe oštrijima. Cilj ovog rada je utvrditi postoji li takav utjecaj i u kojoj mjeri. Dodatno se željelo ispitati postoji li i moderatorska uloga svijesti o unutarnjim tjelesnim signalima i percipirane ranjivosti na zaraze pojedinca u interakciji emocije gađenja i moralnog rasuđivanja te hoće li eksperimentalna manipulacija pooštriti odgovore i na domenama gađenja. U istraţivanju je sudjelovalo 146 sudionika (97 ţena), pretežito studenata, koji su podijeljeni u tri skupine (ovisno o skupu fotografija kojima su izlagani – one koje izazivaju gađenje, pobuđenost ili su neutralne). Od instrumenata se koristio Upitnik svijesti o tijelu (samo podljestvica svijesti o unutarnjim tjelesnim signalima), fotografije iz IAPS baze podataka, Test moralnog rasuđivanja, Skala tri domene gađenja i Upitnik percipirane ranjivosti na zaraze. Sudionici su ispitani grupno u predavaonama gdje su na projektoru gledali skup fotografija te su ispunjavali navedene upitnike. Rezultati su suprotno očekivanjima pokazali kako sudionici neutralne skupine daju značajno oštrije procjene ispravnosti ponašanja od eksperimentalne skupine, a nisu nađene razlike u skupinama na afektivnoj i kognitivnoj komponenti moralnog rasuđivanja. Nije nađena potpora za hipotezu moderatorske uloge svijesti o unutarnjim tjelesnim signalima i percipirane ranjivosti na zaraze, a skupine se također nisu razlikovale po postignutim rezultatima na domenama gađenja. Rezultati ne podupiru hipotezu da emocija gađenja utječe na moralno rasuđivanje.

Abstract (english)

Emotion of disgust has lately become a subject of interest in the field of moral psychology. Findings suggest that it may influence the process of moral reasoning in a manner that it makes moral judgments more severe. The aim of this paper is to establish whether and, to what extent this impact exists. Additionally, we wanted to examine whether there is a moderating role of private body consciousness (PBC) and perceived vulnerability to disease (PVD) in the interaction of the emotion of disgust and moral reasoning, and also, will the experimental manipulation make the answers more severe in the three domains of disgust (TDDS). The study involved 146 participants (97 women), predominantly students, divided into three groups (depending on the set of photos - those that provoke disgust, arousal or are neutral). The instruments used were the Body Consciousness Questionnaire (only PBC subscale), photographs from IAPS database, The Moral Competence Test, TDDS, and PVD. Participants were group tested in lecture halls where they watched a set of photos on the projector and completed the questionnires. Contrary to our expectations, the results showed that neutral group gave considerably sharper assessment of correctness of behavior than the experimental group, while there were no group differences in affective and cognitive components of moral judgment. No support was found for the moderating role of PBC and PVD, and the groups did not differ from the results achieved on the domains of disgust. The results do not support the hypothesis that the emotion of disgust affects moral judgment
