The effect of disgust on pain sensitivity

Physiology & Behavior, 2015
Experiencing the emotion of disgust leads to delayed up-regulation of immune-related functions, increased core-body temperature and reduced appetite. These changes parallel those of the acute phase response, which occurs when a pathogen is detected by the immune system.

Emotion regulation, disgust sensitivity, and psychophysiological responses to a disgust-inducing film

Anxiety, Stress & Coping, 2009
Using a disgust-inducing film, Gross (1998) showed that the instruction to suppress mimic expression (suppression) triggered physiological arousal, while the instruction to think about the film in order to adopt a detached and unemotional attitude (reappraisal) reduced affective strain compared to a condition instructing subjects simply to watch the ...

Disgust Responses to Bitter Compounds: the Role of Disgust Sensitivity

Chemosensory Perception, 2015
It has been suggested that disgust evolved as an emotion that motivates the rejection of rotten and poisonous food. Core disgust is experienced primarily in relation to the sense of taste, and bitterness is an indicator of potential food toxicity.

Assessing intergroup disgust sensitivity: psychometric properties of an adolescent version of the Intergroup Disgust Sensitivity Scale

European Journal of Developmental Psychology
Intergroup disgust sensitivity (ITG-DS) refers to the tendency to experience disgust and revulsion towards ethnic outgroups. Studies in undergraduates and adults from the general population showed that ITG-DS is a strong predictor of interethnic prejudice.

Influences of disgust sensitivity on hemodynamic responses towards a disgust-inducing film clip

International Journal of Psychophysiology, 2005
The major goal of the present functional magnetic resonance imaging study was to investigate the influence of disgust sensitivity on hemodynamic responses during disgust induction. Fifteen subjects viewed three different film excerpts (duration: 135 s each) with disgust-evoking, threatening and neutral content.

Self-Reported Sense of Smell Predicts Disgust Sensitivity and Disgust Reactivity

Journal of Individual Differences, 2018
Abstract. Two studies tested the hypothesis that self-reported sense of smell (i.e., metacognitive insight into one’s olfactory ability) predicts disgust sensitivity and disgust reactivity. Consistent with our predictions two studies demonstrated that disgust correlates with self-reported sense of smell.

Elevated disgust sensitivity in blood phobia

Cognition & Emotion, 2005
In order to demonstrate elevated disgust sensitivity and facilitated disgust learning in patients suffering from blood injection injury phobia, 23 phobics and 20 controls underwent an evaluative conditioning experiment. They were presented with picture pairs consisting of affectively neutral pictures (CS), which were followed by either disgust-inducing,

Disgust sensitivity predicts the insula and pallidal response to pictures of disgusting foods

European Journal of Neuroscience, 2007
Abstract The anterior insula has been implicated in coding disgust from facial, pictorial and olfactory cues, and in the experience of this emotion. Personality research has shown considerable variation in individuals' trait propensity to experience disgust (‘disgust sensitivity’).

Fainting history, disgust sensitivity, and reactions to disgust-eliciting film stimuli

Personality and Individual Differences, 2005
This study examines the construct of disgust sensitivity, its relationship with fainting history and anxiety sensitivity, and its incremental validity in predicting responses to disgust-eliciting film stimuli. One-hundred and fifty-six participants completed self-report questionnaires, watched one of three brief (i.e., about 2 min long) film segments ...

Indirect Assessment of Implicit Disgust Sensitivity

European Journal of Psychological Assessment, 2011
We propose a single-block, single-target, Implicit Association Test (SB-ST-IAT) for measuring implicit disgust sensitivity. Based on dual process theories, we tested the construct validity of this new measure using a sample of N = 75 participants.
