CAD or MAD? Anger (not disgust) as the predominant response to pathogen-free violations of the divinity code.

et al.

Abstract: The CAD triad hypothesis (Rozin, Lowery, Imada, & Haidt, 1999) stipulates that, cross-culturally, people feel anger for violations of autonomy, contempt for violations of community, and disgust for violations of divinity. Although the disgust-divinity link has received some measure of empirical support, the results have been difficult to interpret in light of several conceptual and design flaws. Taking a revised methodological approach, including use of newly validated (Study 1), pathogen-free violations of th… Show more

“…Significant positive association between unethical leader behavior and moral anger reveal that moral emotions of followers may be provoked on observing leaders behaving unethically. The results are in line with previous studies that found that unethical leader behavior trigger negative emotions among followers in social exchange process (Hassan et al, 2022;Kirrane et al, 2017) specifically anger (Royzman et al, 2014). Lindebaum and Geddes (2016) and Lindebaum, Geddes and Gabriel (2017) also reported that moral emotions are generated due to leaders' ethical transgression.…”

Exaggerated anticipatory anxiety is common in social anxiety disorder (SAD). Neuroimaging studies have revealed altered neural activity in response to social stimuli in SAD, but fewer studies have examined neural activity during anticipation of feared social stimuli in SAD. The current study examined the time course and magnitude of activity in threat processing brain regions during speech anticipation in socially anxious individuals and healthy controls (HC). Method Participants (SAD n = 58; HC n = 16) underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during which they completed a 90s control anticipation task and 90s speech anticipation task.

“…Our findings are consistent with those of Royzman et al (2014), who found that American participants’ reactions to pathogen-free sacred violations did not show core disgust-related features such as nausea, gagging, loss of appetite, and a desire to move away. Additionally, we found that sacred violations not involving pathogens are not gross, even for Indians.…”

“…That result, together with Nabi's result, should caution emotion theorists about their assumption that use of the word disgust always implies the same emotion. Our results particularly resonate with those of Royzman et al (2014), who found a similar division to the one seen here: The emotion evoked by physical contaminants may not be the same emotion evoked by moral violations (see also Russell, Piazza, & Giner-Sorolla, 2013).…”

The word disgust may refer to more than one emotion.
