Julgamentos morais intuitivos e estigma do encarceramento: uma análise do preconceito implícito a partir do Modelo Intuicionista Social

Abstract

The relationship between morality and law is recurrent in the social sciences disciplines, especially in the applied ones, because in the field of legal praxis, the realizations of moral judgments regarding decision making are continuous. The search for a rationalization that justifies moral judgments is a latent concern and is intensely revealed when the fact that incites moral judgment depends on the production of strategic justification reasoning. Moral judgments are made intuitively, and in a later act they are rationalized with the intention of influencing people and reinforcing friendship and group ties. It is therefore interesting to note that in the midst of psychological research on moral judgments, intuitionism is present, and that the moral reasoning made by an individual is generally devoted to finding reasons to support the individual's intuitions. Moral reasoning is a typically human process aimed at maintaining social coexistence and whose objective is to justify our actions towards belonging groups. Therefore, through intuitive reasoning, awakened by intuitions and moral emotions, which are not always positive; the implicit prejudice is founded, a phenomenon called “implicit bias”, which results in discriminatory behavior even without the deliberate intention for that purpose. Thus, research on moral judgments can serve as a tool for the debate on the relationship of a society with the egress of the prison system. It is observed that the reintegration of the egress of the prison system in a society also coincides with the field of influence of moral intuitions, since it can be seen that the development of the feeling of revulsion by the members of a group towards a subject occurs through not sharing a priori the same values. When it is observed that graduates of the prison system are stigmatized in the social environment, the moral judgments that such subjects suffer cannot be excluded from the analysis. Thus, it is necessary to understand moral intuitions and how they are rationalized a posteriori to justify marginalizing actions or discourses. The main objective of this research will be to analyze the discussion about the intercessions between morality and law from the investigation of the social response to the ex-prisoners. In this sense, it intends to reflect how the social reaction to the egress of the prison system, based on preconceived moral judgments, considered as intuitive, supports negative beliefs about this subject and reflects directly on his reinsertion in the social environment. It is a theoretical-investigative research, critical feature, through content analysis, through which are put to the researcher various notions and ideas, already elaborated in other works, which will serve as elements of conviction. The theoretical data will be collected and, through the management of concepts and theories formulated by the specialized literature, an information network will be built, establishing the fundamental basis of the theoretical studies.
