摘要
People experience regulatory fit (E. T. Higgins, 2000) when the strategic manner of their goal pursuit suits their replatory orientation, and this regulatory fit feels right. Fit violation feels wrong. Four studies tested the proposal that experiences of fit can transfer to moral evaluations. The author examined transfer of feeling wrong from fit violation by having participants in a promotion or prevention Focus recall transgressions of commission or omission (Studies 1 and 2). Both studies found that when the type of transgression was a fit violation, participants expressed more guilt. Studies 3 and 4 examined transfer of feeling right from regulatory fit. Participants evaluated conflict resolutions (Study 3) and public policies (Study 4) as more right when the means pursued had fit.
