English-speakers sometimes say that they feel “moved to tears,” “emotionally touched,” “stirred,” or that something “warmed their heart;” other languages use similar passive contact metaphors to refer to an affective state. The authors propose and measure the concept of kama muta to understand experiences often given these and other labels. Do the same experiences evoke the same kama muta emotion across nations and languages? They conducted studies in 19 different countries, 5 continents, 15 languages, with a total of 3,542 participants. They tested the construct while validating a comprehensive scale to measure the appraisals, valence, bodily sensations, motivation, and lexical labels posited to characterize kama muta. The results are congruent with theory and previous findings showing that kama muta is a distinct positive social relational emotion that is evoked by experiencing or observing a sudden intensification of communal sharing. It is commonly accompanied by a warm feeling in the chest, moist eyes or tears, chills or piloerection, feeling choked up or having a lump in the throat, buoyancy, and exhilaration. It motivates affective devotion and moral commitment to communal sharing. Although the authors observed some variations across cultures, these 5 facets of kama muta are highly correlated in every sample, supporting the validity of the construct and the measure.

The submission interrogates the issue of domestic violence in its various forms and how courts, legislation and courts define and handle cases of domestic violence. The authors argue that the definitions currently in place are not inclusive of various forms of violence thus leaving victims without adequate remedies. They note that the Bill on domestic violence is likely to address some of these shortcomings.

This contribution explores the judicial and legislative responses to sexual offences committed by, and against children. It premises its content against the contextual background of sexual offending in South Africa, and argues that traditional punitive responses to various forms of sexual crime are ineffective. It further postulates that the current status quo, at least insofar as child offences are concerned, goes against the grain of restorative justice. The authors argue that South Africa cannot simply apply either retributive or restorative justice to crimes of this nature but rather that the approaches can be blended as part of a multi-disciplinary approach to children who commit sexual offences, and children who are the victims of such offences. The submission argues for the use of restorative justice practices, primarily victim-offender mediation, where suitable on the merits.
