研究了恐惧预期、厌恶敏感性、对现代舒适的渴望以及对野外和人造环境及相关活动的偏好之间的关系。使用主要是郊区和农村的八年级学生（n=450），所有三个变量都被发现与野外环境、娱乐活动和职业偏好的偏好显著相关。那些恐惧期望值高、厌恶敏感度高、渴望现代舒适的人更有可能喜欢修剪整齐的公园和城市环境，而不喜欢荒野环境。他们也更喜欢室内社交娱乐活动，对未来在户外环境工作的兴趣明显降低。最后，他们不太可能喜欢合适的水体来进行水生昆虫学实验室。研究消极感知可能会补充现有的环境偏好研究，该研究倾向于关注人们为什么喜欢某些环境。
The relationships between fear expectancy, disgust sensitivity, desire for modem comforts, and preference for wildland and built environments and related activities were examined. Using a population of predominantly suburban and rural eighth-grade students (n=450), all three variables were found to be significantly related to preferences for wildland environments, recreational activities, and vocational preferences. Those with high fear expectancy, disgust sensitivity, and desire for modem comforts were more likely to prefer manicured park settings and urban environments and to dislike wildland environments. They were also more likely to prefer indoor social recreation activities and express significantly less interest in future careers working in outdoor environments. Finally, they were less likely to prefer appropriate water bodies for conducting an aquatic entomology lab. Studying negative perceptions may comple ment existing environmental preference research, which has tended to focus on why people prefer certain environments.
