DESCRIPTION:The often irrational role of moral disgust in judg
 ment has received a great deal of research and con
 troversy. I will present research from our lab arg
 uing that disgust — or an emotional state identifi
 ed by people as "disgust" — plays a key role in tr
 acking the moral fitness of people's character\, r
 eacting preferentially to situations that show bad
  character without necessarily involving harmful c
 onsequences. After presenting primary evidence for
  this proposition\, and for parallel outcomes with
  positive emotions that track character (e.g. Elev
 ation)\, I will try to theoretically harmonize the
 se findings to other research showing a bodily foc
 us for moral disgust. Finally\, I will return to a
 ddress the question of similarities among emotions
  labelled "disgust\," presenting a review of cross
 -cultural research that suggests a hidden emotion 
 class of character-tracking emotion given various 
 translations in various languages\, and distinct i
 n its own way from core physical disgust and the b
 ehavioural immune system.\n\nHost: Prof Simone Sch
 nall \n\nThis talk will be recorded and uploaded t
 o the Zangwill Club "Youtube channel":https://http
