厌恶的功能是什么？传统的模型认为，厌恶是为了保护自我或消除我们动物本性的提醒，而进化的观点认为，厌恶的功能是解决3个性质不同的适应性问题，这些问题与病原体回避、配偶选择和社会互动有关。作者在4项研究中调查了厌恶的3域模型，并研究了对这些功能域的敏感性如何与其他心理结构的个体差异相关。与他们的预测一致，因素分析表明，厌恶敏感性分为与病原体，性和道德有关的领域。此外，对3个领域的敏感性显示出基于性别、对疾病的易感性、精神病倾向和五大人格特征的可预测的差异。在探索这三个领域的厌恶，作者介绍了一个新的衡量厌恶敏感度。厌恶的功能异质性的评价对厌恶敏感性、情绪、临床损伤和神经科学的个体差异研究具有重要意义。
What is the function of disgust? Whereas traditional models have suggested that disgust serves to protect the self or neutralize reminders of our animal nature, an evolutionary perspective suggests that disgust functions to solve 3 qualitatively different adaptive problems related to pathogen avoidance, mate choice, and social interaction. The authors investigated this 3-domain model of disgust across 4 studies and examined how sensitivity to these functional domains relates to individual differences in other psychological constructs. Consistent with their predictions, factor analyses demonstrated that disgust sensitivity partitions into domains related to pathogens, sexuality, and morality. Further, sensitivity to the 3 domains showed predictable differentiation based on sex, perceived vulnerability to disease, psychopathic tendencies, and Big 5 personality traits. In exploring these 3 domains of disgust, the authors introduce a new measure of disgust sensitivity. Appreciation of the functional heterogeneity of disgust has important implications for research on individual differences in disgust sensitivity, emotion, clinical impairments, and neuroscience.
