People often experience anger and/or disgust when observing wrongdoings. It is considered that anger and disgust elicited by moral violations are associated with different social functions: Anger motivates direct punishment and disgust motivates indirect punishment. However, within the domain of morality, some scholars question the distinctness of anger and disgust and doubt the relevance of disgust to moral judgments. By reanalyzing data from a previous study, we first confirmed that self-reported disgust (independently of anger) is associated with moral judgments (Pilot Study 1). Subsequently, we investigated the potential of distinguishing disgust from anger by changes in heart rate (HR) in the domain of morality. We measured participants’ HR while they read a series of moral violation scenarios. The results of three studies (Pilot Study 2, Study 1, and Study 2) demonstrated an association between decreased HR and disgust in response to moral violations. Anger tended to be associated with increased HR, but this association occasionally failed to reach statistical significance. Study 2 also revealed that anger provoked both direct and indirect punishment, whereas disgust provoked indirect punishment and distancing from the transgressor.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved)
