Abstract

ABSTRACT A quickly expanding literature has examined the link between physical disgust and morality. This article critically integrates the existing evidence and draws the following conclusions: First, there is considerable evidence that experimentally induced disgust and cleanliness influence moral judgment, but moderating variables and attributional processes need to be considered. Second, moral considerations have substantial effects on behavioural concomitants of disgust, such as facial expressions, economic games and food consumption. Third, while disgust involves a conservation concern, it can manifest itself in both liberal and conservative political attitudes. Overall, disgust can be considered to form part of a behavioural loss aversion system aimed at protecting valuable resources, including the integrity of one’s body. Recommendations are offered to investigate the role of disgust more rigorously in order to fully capture its role in moral life.

厌恶体现为对损失的厌恶

越来越多的文献研究了身体厌恶和道德之间的联系。本文批判性地整合了现有证据，得出以下结论:首先，有大量证据表明实验诱导的厌恶和清洁影响道德判断，但需要考虑调节变量和归因过程。其次，道德考虑对伴随厌恶的行为有实质性影响，比如面部表情、经济游戏和食物消费。第三，虽然厌恶涉及保护问题，但它可以在自由主义和保守主义的政治态度中表现出来。总的来说，厌恶可以被认为是行为损失厌恶系统的一部分，旨在保护有价值的资源，包括一个人的身体的完整性。建议更严格地调查厌恶的作用，以充分捕捉其在道德生活中的作用。

It serves as a platform for comprehensive, theory-driven reviews that cover the broad spectrum of social psychology. The journal is open to submissions from authors worldwide and is guided by a prestigious international editorial board. ERSP is particularly interested in publishing reviews that reflect the author's own research program, as demonstrated by their publications in leading peer-reviewed journals. The journal values theoretical contributions that are grounded in a substantial empirical foundation, situating the research within the broader context of existing literature and offering a synthesis that goes beyond the individual articles. In addition to these in-depth reviews, ERSP also welcomes conventional reviews and meta-analyses, further enriching the journal's offerings. By focusing on high-quality, evidence-based research, ERSP contributes significantly to the advancement of knowledge in social psychology and fosters a deeper understanding of human social behavior across cultures and societies.
