The aim of the present study was to test the convergence hypothesis with the emotions, the role of positive and the negative emotional experiences in moral judgment based on the moderating role of Behavioral Activation System (BAS) and Behavioral Inhibition System (BIS). First, 600 persons from Kharazmi University were tested using the Carver and White personality questionnaire and after analyzing the data, 60 of them were classified into four groups based on  the final scores of the distribution.  Then, each personality group (individually) was induced by the positive and negative emotional experiences. After the emotion induction step, they were presented with two personal and impersonal moral stories to respond. The gathered data were analyzed using the mixed variance analysis. Results showed that there was a significant difference between the four groups of subjects based on the emotional aspects in personal and impersonal moral judgment. Furthermore, emotion induction could  influence the people’s function  in personal and impersonal moral judgment based on the personality dimensions, and positive and negative emotional stimuli could lead to the non- utilitarianism judgment in personal moral stories.

The aim of present study investigated the mediating role of positive and negative affect in the relationship between systems of brain/behavioral and alexitimiya. 277 students (121 males and 156 females) was selected from Kharazmi University through multistage cluster sampling and completed Jackson^,s five factor, Positive and Negative Affect (PANAS), Alexithimiya questionnaires. Data were analyzed using multiple regression. The results showed the behavioral activation/inhibition system positively can predict Alexithymia. Also the positive and negative affect play a mediating role in the relationship between systems and alexithymia. The model obtained is appropriate for explaining alexithymia.
