厌恶被认为是恐惧症获得和维持的一个可能因素，特别是在蜘蛛恐惧症中。在一系列研究中，研究人员对蜘蛛恐惧症患者、其他特定恐惧症患者和非恐惧症对照组进行了关于厌恶的认知和过程的研究。恐惧症患者对他们的恐惧对象的恶心性质的信念是存在的，但并没有导致注意力偏差。整体厌恶敏感度的测量与恐惧反应没有密切联系。与恐惧物体相关的厌恶似乎有不同的成分与不引起恐惧反应的物体相关的厌恶。根据这里提出的证据，厌恶似乎不太可能在蜘蛛恐惧症的病因学或维持中起核心作用，特别是在一般的特定恐惧症中。有人提出，当刺激通常与厌恶成为恐惧焦虑的焦点，厌恶反应可能会被放大。(C)1998爱思唯尔科技有限公司。保留所有权利。
Disgust has been proposed as a possible factor in phobic acquisition and maintenance, particularly in spider phobia. Cognitions and processes concerning disgust were examined in a series of studies with spider phobics, other specific phobics and nonphobic controls. Beliefs about the disgusting nature of their phobic objects were present in phobics but did not contribute to an attentional bias. Measures of global disgust sensitivity were not closely linked to the phobic fear response. The disgust associated with phobic objects appears to have different constituents to the disgust associated with objects that do not evoke the phobic response. In the light of evidence presented here, it seems unlikely that disgust plays a central role in the aetiology or maintenance of spider phobia in particular and specific phobias in general. It is proposed that when stimuli normally associated with disgust become the focus of phobic anxiety the disgust response may be amplified. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
