Moral emotions underlie
\npuritanical morality<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Our research group published a review, “Moral emotions underlie puritanical morality,” in Behavioral and Brain Sciences in October 2023, revealing the importance of moral emotions in puritanical morality. The article adds to the theory presented by Fitouchi et al. and provides a new perspective on our understanding of puritanical morality.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 In the target article, Fitouchi et al. build a new theory that puritanical morality is developed for promoting cooperation by facilitating self-control (regardless its efficiency). Although Fitouchi et al. have elucidated the cognitive and evolutionary foundations of their cooperation-based theory with sufficient evidence, they leave the emotional foundation of puritanical morality unclear. Are there any emotions underlying puritanical morality? What are they? We would like to extend Fitouchi et al.\u2019s theory by proposing moral emotions such as guilt and shame as characteristic emotions in puritanical morality. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 Our proposition is based on three reasons: (1) violations of puritanical norms induce guilt and shame; (2) guilt and shame support self-control; and (3) guilt and shame enhance cooperation.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 Additionally, we keep an open mind about whether other moral emotions are involved in puritanical morality. For instance, several studies have demonstrated a link between gratitude and self-control. In sum, our extension contributes to filling in the missing part of Fitouchi et al.\u2019s theory (i.e., the emotional foundation of puritanical morality) and setting a new direction for future research.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
