The objective of this paper is to present the interpretation of the narratives of moral emotions from Ninth Grade students. In particular, the study focuses on accounting for those narratives that extend or prevent moral interest in civic life. The researchers use a theoretical perspective that considers emotions to be cognitive and a qualitative methodological approach. Narratives from students of both genders were interpreted and found to include the emotions of shame, disgust, pity, envy, humiliation and gratitude. This article discusses some of these narratives and the beliefs that support them. The information obtained from the study permits a description of the existing values in students, emotions that strengthen or weaken peaceful co-existence in schools and the role that these emotions play in a community that aspires to be democratic.

Palabras clave : citizenship; moral emotions; disgust; compassion.
