“…Despite open questions regarding the relationship of incidental disgust to moral judgment, other possibilities remain for how morality and disgust might be associated (e.g., Pizarro et al, 2011 ). For example, work has shown that feeling disgusted or having higher trait-level disgust sensitivity can influence moral judgments (e.g., Jones and Fitness, 2008 ; Horberg et al, 2009 ; Chapman and Anderson, 2014 ; Białek et al, 2021 ). Similarly, although the extent of harmfulness vs. disgust might better explain the moralization of some behaviors ( Royzman et al, 2014 ), and anger rather than disgust might be the predominant response when disgusting aspects of certain behaviors are excluded from stimuli ( Kayyal et al, 2015 ), certain classes of immoral and norm-violating acts have been explicitly tied to disgust responses (e.g., Rozin et al, 1999 ; Horberg et al, 2009 ; Giner-Sorolla and Chapman, 2017 ; Andersson et al, 2024 ).…”
