“elevation” refers to a specific positive emotional state that arises when a person witnesses acts of moral beauty, virtue, or moral excellence. This feeling is often described as a warm, uplifting sensation, typically accompanied by physical responses such as a feeling of expansion in the chest or tears in the eyes. Elevation is distinct from other positive emotions like joy or happiness because it is specifically linked to the perception of goodness or human decency. It can inspire individuals to become better people themselves.
