- Sex differences in moral guilt reactions to justified and unjustified violence: insights from psychology and neuroscience (2026) · doi
Despite this study’s contribution of investigating effects related to justified and unjustified violence, further research must continue to investigate and break down boundaries and edge 30 cases within each of these conditions. In other words: does the type of justified or unjustified violence impact results, and do these new results vary by sex? Future research should investigate if the characteristics of the harmed agent, the type of weapon present, and the specific environmental context impact results in a significant manner. Similar questions remain about whether or not the medium of media significantly impacts results. That is, would a similar clip from a film or television show generate similar findings? Does taking the perspective of a person committing violence in a literary passage elicit similar results? Future research should investigate these lines of questioning by generating relevant empirical literature.
