Resumo: The present study investigates the role of the emotion of disgust in judicial decision-making, specifically, in the context of sentencing and decisions concerning the constitutionality of legal norms. Motivated by past literature in experimental psychology on the relationship between disgust and moral judgment, we describe a study to probe the correlation between judgments of hypothetical legal cases and individuals’ sensitivity to disgust in a sample of law students. Special attention was directed toward the so-called purity domain, a moral sphere concerning the maintenance of bodily hygiene and spirituality. Namely, several vignettes presented legal matters intertwined with purity domain values. Next, we present our experimental results and offer some primary interpretations. In closing, we suggest possible implications of this empirical research for the theory and practice of the law.

Partindo da literatura disponível no campo da psicologia experimental sobre a relação entre o nojo e a realização de juízos morais, foram delineados estudos que objetivaram aferir uma possível correlação entre o resultado de julgamentos de casos jurídicos hipotéticos e a predisposição ao nojo dos participantes, todos estudantes de graduação em direito. Dentre os cenários escolhidos, foi conferida especial atenção ao chamado domínio da pureza, esfera moral concernente à manutenção da higidez do corpo e da espiritualidade. Parte das vinhetas apresentadas aos participantes envolviam justamente questões jurídicas imbricadas com questões relativas a esse domínio da moralidade. Em seguida, apresentamos os resultados dos experimentos e discutimos possíveis interpretações dos mesmos. Ao final, são levantados possíveis desdobramentos desta pesquisa empírica nos âmbitos teórico e prático do direito.Rede de Estudos Empíricos em Direito2018-04-22info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://reedrevista.org/reed/article/view/19310.19092/reed.v5i1.193Brazilian Journal of Empirical Legal Studies; Vol. 5 No. 1 (2018): Brazilian Journal of Empirical Legal StudiesRevista de Estudos Empíricos em Direito; v. 5 n. 1 (2018): Revista de Estudos Empíricos em Direito2319-081710.19092/reed.v5i1reponame:Revista de Estudos Empíricos em Direitoinstname:Rede de Pesquisa Empírica em Direito (REED)instacron:RPEDporhttps://reedrevista.org/reed/article/view/193/pdf_29Tavares, Rodrigo de SouzaHannikainen, Ivar Rodriguézinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2020-07-05T16:22:12Zoai:ojs.emnuvens.com.br:article/193Revistahttps://reedrevista.org/reedONGhttps://reedrevista.org/reed/oaimvchein@gmail.com||reed.revista@gmail.com2319-08172319-0817opendoar:2020-07-05T16:22:12Revista de Estudos Empíricos em Direito - Rede de Pesquisa Empírica em Direito (REED)false
