In an experiment examining moral emotions, researchers measured participants’ anger and disgust towards pedophiles. To clearly define these emotions, participants were shown labelled pictures depicting facial expressions of anger, disgust, contempt, and fear, and were asked whether they felt any of these emotions about the group in question. They were then asked to write explanations regarding why they felt each emotion. The results showed that participants gave more elaborate reasoning as to why they were angered by pedophiles than they did for why they were disgusted by them.
