A study cosponsored by the University has yielded findings that suggest an association between the perception of guilt and the perception of heaviness, The Huffington Post reported.
The study used three separate groups of college students. In one group, students were asked to think about a time they did something unethical. In another group, students were asked to think about a time they did something ethical. The third group was not asked to think about any particular memory. After this exercise, members of each group were asked whether they felt heavier or lighter than their usual weight.
Those who were asked to think about an unethical moment reported a heavier self-perception than those in the other two groups.
The study, which was published in the journal PLOS ONE, also included variations on this experiment, including one where some participants were asked to think about an unethical deed committed by a famous person. Participants who were asked to think about something they had done themselves reported feeling heavier than those who were asked to think about something done by a distant figure.
The study was authored by Martin Day, a postdoctoral research associate at the Wilson School, and Ramona Bobocel, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Waterloo.
