Abstract in brief

The study explored how Chinese and Canadian adolescents expect to feel morally when considering actions versus inactions, revealing that actions generally evoke stronger moral emotions than inactions in both cultures.
Regardless of the perceived obligation to perform moral acts, the actor effect—how individuals view themselves or others—significantly influences moral emotion expectancies, highlighting a universal aspect of moral judgment.
Cultural differences emerged, with Chinese adolescents experiencing more negative emotions when observing antisocial acts and fewer positive feelings towards moral actions, indicating that moral emotions are shaped by cultural values and individual moral perceptions.]
