A Study On The Influence Of Emotional Categories And Cognitive State On Moral Judgment Of Different Types Of Events

In recent years,there are more and more topics about morality,and the importance of moral education for students and citizens is also increasing.Moral judgment is an inevitable part of moral education.The study of moral judgment is helpful to reflect on the present situation of moral education,improve the quality of moral education and promote students' self-development.The study of moral judgment is the largest in the study of moral psychology,rich in theoretical and empirical research,its importance and richness have prompted us to continue to conduct more in-depth,more detailed research,find more subtle things,apply in moral education,so that education can play a better role.The researcher discusses the difference of the influence of specific emotion on moral judgment,and finds out the influence of cognitive resources on moral judgment and makes a reasonable explanation.However,in the past,the experimental materials used more classical hypothetical stories or moral dilemmas,which were far from the actual situation of life,and were limited to the influence of cognitive resources on moral judgment in cognitive aspects.The influence of different cognitive states on moral judgment is ignored.Therefore,according to the theory of double processing of moral judgment,this paper studies the influence of emotional category and cognitive state on moral judgment,and selects the way close to the reality of life De judgment events as experimental materials.On this basis,the moral judgment events are divided into three dimensions,and the influence of emotional categories and cognitive states on the differences between different dimensions of moral judgment events is further discussed.in this experiment,we used 3(emotion category: positive emotion,neutral emotion,negative emotion)*2(cognitive state: cognitive activation,cognitivedepression)two-factor inter-group experimental design.the dependent variable is the severity of the evaluation of moral judgment events.moral judgment events are divided into three dimensions: prosocial events,antisocial events and social stress events.In the experiment,by watching different emotions to start video clips,the subjects were induced to produce different types of emotions.Secondly,the cognitive state of the subjects was interfered by simple mathematical calculation and brain sharp turn.Finally,the moral judgment is completed.The results are as follows:1.The main effect of cognitive state on moral judgment is significant.The score of moral judgment in cognitive depression state is significantly higher than that in cognitive activation state,indicating that cognitive state has an impact on moral judgment,and the severity of moral judgment in cognitive depression state is significantly higher than that in cognitive activation state.2.The main effect of emotional valence on moral judgment is significant.When positive emotion is induced,the moral judgment score of subjects is the lowest,and the difference between positive emotion and negative emotion reaches a significant level,indicating that emotional valence has an impact on moral judgment,and under positive emotion,the severity of moral judgment of subjects is significantly lower than that of neutral emotion and negative emotion.3.The interaction effect of cognitive state and emotional valence on moral judgment is significant.Under positive emotion,there is significant difference between cognitive states;under cognitive activation,positive emotion score is significantly lower than other emotions.4.Cognitive state has a significant impact on the moral judgment of antisocial and social stress events,and the severity of moral judgment in cognitive depression is significantly higher than that in cognitive activation.Cognitive state has no significant effect on prosocial events.5.Emotional valence has a significant impact on the moral judgment of prosocial events,and the judgment severity of positive emotions is significantly lower than that of negative emotions and neutral emotions.There was nosignificant difference in emotional valence between antisocial and social stress events.
