Hypnotic Disgust Makes Moral Judgments More Severe
@article{Wheatley2005HypnoticDM, title={Hypnotic Disgust Makes Moral Judgments More Severe}, author={T. Wheatley and J. Haidt}, journal={Psychological Science}, year={2005}, volume={16}, pages={780 - 784} }
Highly hypnotizable participants were given a posthypnotic suggestion to feel a flash of disgust whenever they read an arbitrary word. They were then asked to rate moral transgressions described in vignettes that either did or did not include the disgust-inducing word. Two studies show that moral judgments can be made more severe by the presence of a flash of disgust. These findings suggest that moral judgments may be grounded in affectively laden moral intuitions.
