Disgust influences moral judgment by activating gut feelings, which are specific to moral evaluations. Four experiments showed that inducing disgust through smell, environment, memory, or video increased the severity of moral judgments compared to controls. Disgust had a different effect than sadness, and its impact depended on participants' sensitivity to bodily sensations. The social intuitionist model suggests that moral judgments are often based on quick, automatic emotional responses, with reasoning used to justify or share these intuitions. Affective feelings provide information about the value of objects and situations, influencing evaluations like life satisfaction and risk. Disgust, evolved to help humans avoid harmful substances, also influences social judgments, often linking physical disgust to social rejection. Experimental work shows that disgust affects moral judgments more when it aligns with the content of the scenario. The embodied cognition approach suggests that emotions like disgust are deeply tied to bodily experiences, influencing moral judgments through intuitive, affective responses. Experiments demonstrated that high sensitivity to bodily cues (Private Body Consciousness) led to more severe moral judgments when exposed to disgust. Disgust had a unique effect on moral judgments compared to other negative emotions like sadness. A meta-analysis confirmed that high-PBC individuals showed a significant effect of disgust on moral judgments, while low-PBC individuals did not. These findings support the idea that disgust plays a specific role in moral judgment, influenced by bodily sensations and the context of the scenario.Disgust influences moral judgment by activating gut feelings, which are specific to moral evaluations.
