e describe the development of a reliable measure of individual differences in disgust sensitivity. The 32- item Disgust Scale includes 2 true-false and 2 disgust-rating items for each of seven domains of disgust elicitors (food, animals, body products, sex, body envelope violations, death, and hygiene) and for a domain of magical thinking (via similarity and contagion) that cuts across the seven domains of elicitors. Correlations with other scales provide initial evidence of convergent and discriminant validity: the Disgust Scale correlates moderately with Sensation Seeking (r = -.46) and with Fear of Death (r = .39), correlates weakly with Neuroticism (r = .23) and Psychoticism (r = -.25), and correlates negligibly with Self- Monitoring and the EPQ Extraversion and Lie scales. Females score higher than males on the Disgust Scale. We suggest that the seven domains of disgust elicitors all have in common that they remind us of our animality and, especially, of our mortality. Thus we see disgust as a defensive emotion that maintains and emphasizes the line between human and animal.

If you made up this I will defend you always against allcomers. If not, it's OK - but from where did you get it from?

Makes me want to find my copy of the "Quantity theory of Insanity".

Paldies: then it seems they assert that we avoid eating sweets shaped like dog crap because it reminds it us of our animality. And our animality reminds us we are mortal.

So do animals display disgust?

Animality involves equivalent of eating feces. How does an animal wear a suit, as a sociopath?
