Recent evidence indicates that the propensity towards experiencing disgust may contribute to the development and maintenance of some anxiety disorders. This article summarizes the empirical evidence with emphasis on illuminating potential mediators, moderators, and mechanisms of the disgust-anxiety disorder association that may inform the development of an integrative conceptual model. Early research using neuroimaging methods suggest that disgust processing is associated with activation of the insula. This research has the potential to facilitate progress in developing an empirically informed psychobiological theory on the causal role of disgust in the anxiety disorders.
最近的证据表明，产生厌恶感的倾向可能有助于某些焦虑障碍的发展和维持。本文总结了实证证据，重点阐述了可能有助于综合概念模型发展的厌恶-焦虑障碍关联的潜在中介、调节和机制。早期使用神经影像学方法的研究表明，厌恶处理与脑岛的激活有关。这项研究有可能促进发展一种基于厌恶在焦虑障碍中因果作用的经验启发式心理生物学理论方面的进展。
