Description

This study examined social sanctions by others unrelated to the determination of punishment for social deviants, emotions, and sense of micro-unfairness (sense of sense of unfairness with regard to one's daily life with regard to one's daily life). The results of analysis revealed that social sanctions and punishment determination were complementary. In addition, social sanctions increased schadenfreude, and punishment was determined light if schadenfreude was strongly aroused. Moreover, persons with a strong sense of micro-unfairness tended to determine a heavy punishment for socially deviant acts. However, because schadenfreude is more likely to be aroused in persons with a high sense of micro-unfairness if they learn that social sanctions have been imposed (unhappiness of the person who received punishment), it was shown that punishment tends to be lightly determined based on the feeling of joy. The above findings suggest that regarding the background of the reduction of punishment (complementarity between social sanctions and the severity of punishment) due to misfortune (social sanctions) occurring for social deviants, in addition to the view that part of the punishment to be given was actually given, the feelings of the punishment determiner may be affected by the imposition of social sanctions.
