Abstract

Disgust helps navigating through an environment by avoiding potential threats. Some of these threats can be posed by other individuals, which makes disgust an important mechanism in a social context. Here, we explored how violating disgust norms influences perception of norm-transgressors. In Study 1 (N = 331), we investigated the perceived attractiveness of an individual eliciting disgust, as well as willingness to befriend them, and consider them as a potential mate. We found that disgust norms transgressors are perceived as less attractive, evoke less sexual desire, and are considered as a potential friend to a smaller degree. Study 2 (N = 367) showed sex differences in perceiving transgressors' attractiveness, with females transgressing disgust norms considered more attractive than males who made the same transgressions. Furthermore, male transgressors elicited greater disgust than female ones. We conclude that transgressing disgust norms might lead to severe social costs, such as potential exclusion from relationships and a decreased mate value, and that it might be more detrimental to men than women.
在不同社会背景下违反与厌恶有关的规范所产生的影响
厌恶有助于通过避免潜在的威胁来适应环境。其中一些威胁可能是由其他人造成的,这使得厌恶成为社会环境中的一种重要机制。在此,我们探讨了违反厌恶规范如何影响对规范违反者的感知。在研究 1(N = 331)中,我们调查了引起反感的个体的感知吸引力,以及与之交朋友并将其视为潜在配偶的意愿。我们发现,厌恶规范违反者被认为吸引力较低,唤起的性欲较低,被视为潜在朋友的程度较低。研究 2(样本数 = 367)显示,人们对越轨者吸引力的感知存在性别差异,女性越轨者比男性越轨者更有吸引力。此外,男性越轨者比女性越轨者更容易引起反感。我们的结论是,违反恶心准则可能会导致严重的社会代价,如可能被排除在人际关系之外和降低交配价值,而且对男性的危害可能比对女性的危害更大。

期刊介绍: Personality and Individual Differences is devoted to the publication of articles (experimental, theoretical, review) which aim to integrate as far as possible the major factors of personality with empirical paradigms from experimental, physiological, animal, clinical, educational, criminological or industrial psychology or to seek an explanation for the causes and major determinants of individual differences in concepts derived from these disciplines. The editors are concerned with both genetic and environmental causes, and they are particularly interested in possible interaction effects.
