Two studies demonstrate that a dispositional proneness to disgust ("disgust sensitivity") is associated with intuitive disapproval of gay people. Study 1 was based on previous research showing that people are more likely to describe a behavior as intentional when they see it as morally wrong (see Knobe, 2006, for a review). As predicted, the more disgust sensitive participants were, the more likely they were to describe an agent whose behavior had the side effect of causing gay men to kiss in public as having intentionally encouraged gay men to kiss publicly-even though most participants did not explicitly think it wrong to encourage gay men to kiss in public. No such effect occurred when subjects were asked about heterosexual kissing. Study 2 used the Implicit Association Test (IAT; Nosek, Banaji, & Greenwald, 2006) as a dependent measure. The more disgust sensitive participants were, the more they showed unfavorable automatic associations with gay people as opposed to heterosexuals.

两项研究表明,厌恶倾向(“厌恶敏感性”)与对同性恋者的直觉性不认同有关。研究1基于先前的研究,该研究表明,当人们认为一种行为在道德上是错误的时,他们更有可能将其描述为故意的行为(见Knobe,2006年的综述)。正如预测的那样,厌恶敏感性越高的参与者,就越有可能将其行为产生让男同性恋者在公共场合亲吻这种副作用的行为主体描述为故意鼓励男同性恋者在公共场合亲吻——即使大多数参与者并没有明确认为鼓励男同性恋者在公共场合亲吻是错误的。当询问受试者关于异性恋亲吻的问题时,没有出现这种效应。研究2使用内隐联想测验(IAT;Nosek、Banaji和Greenwald,2006年)作为因变量指标。厌恶敏感性越高的参与者,与异性恋者相比,他们表现出对同性恋者越不利的自动联想。两项研究表明,厌恶倾向(“厌恶敏感性”)与对同性恋者的直觉性不认同有关。研究1基于先前的研究,该研究表明,当人们认为一种行为在道德上是错误的时,他们更有可能将其描述为故意的行为(见Knobe,2006年的综述)。正如预测的那样,厌恶敏感性越高的参与者,就越有可能将其行为产生让男同性恋者在公共场合亲吻这种副作用的行为主体描述为故意鼓励男同性恋者在公共场合亲吻——即使大多数参与者并没有明确认为鼓励男同性恋者在公共场合亲吻是错误的。当询问受试者关于异性恋亲吻的问题时,没有出现这种效应。研究2使用内隐联想测验(IAT;Nosek、Banaji和Greenwald,2006年)作为因变量指标。厌恶敏感性越高的参与者,与异性恋者相比,他们表现出对同性恋者越不利的自动联想。
