Moral emotions when reading quotidian circumstances in contexts of violence: an fMRI study

Abstract: The increase of violence in Mexico and consequent suffering during the last decades is evident, but its effects over feelings and moral judgments remain uncertain. We used journalistic news showing real-life situations to investigate the effects of facing violence over the experience of four moral emotions which represent powerful impulses for social actions in situations of suffering linked to violence: Negative Compassion, Positive Compassion, Schadenfreude, and Indignation. We evaluate brain activation by u… Show more

For women, the ACC was only coupled to the precuneus, whose function involves self-awareness related to emotional valuations, episodic memory ( Ochsner et al, 2004 ; Atilano-Barbosa et al, 2022 ), imagery about another’s mental states ( Schurz et al, 2014 ) and moral judgments ( Bzdok et al, 2012 ).
