Although research regarding disgust has increased enormously in the last decades, to date there is a lack of published research about the influence of food disgust on various food-related behaviours. Our study aimed to provide an understanding about the relationships between food disgust sensitivity and eating preferences (texture-based food rejection), habits (variety seeking), and behaviours (picky eating) as well as food waste frequency. Additionally, sociodemographic characteristics associated with food disgust sensitivity were examined. German-speaking Swiss adults (N = 1181) completed a paper-and-pencil questionnaire. Next to the Food Disgust Scale (FDS), the questionnaire included several established eating behaviour scales, such as the Adult Picky Eating Questionnaire, a scale regarding seeking food variety and a food frequency questionnaire. In addition, food waste frequency was also assessed by self-report. Multiple regression analyses showed that with increasing age, food disgust sensitivity scores increased and women showed higher FDS scores than men. Moreover, while picky eating and the rejection of certain food textures were both positively associated with higher FDS scores, seeking variety in foods was negatively associated with food disgust sensitivity. Significant correlations between FDS scores and the frequency of consuming certain foods were observed (e.g. vegetables, seafood). Finally, people with higher FDS scores reported a higher frequency of wasting food than people with lower FDS scores. The results indicate that individual food disgust sensitivity plays a role in various food domains.
尽管过去几十年中有关厌恶感的研究大量增加，但目前仍缺乏关于食物厌恶感对各种与食物相关行为的影响的已发表研究。我们的研究旨在了解食物厌恶感敏感性与饮食偏好（基于质地的食物拒绝）、习惯（寻求多样性）和行为（挑食）以及食物浪费频率之间的关系。此外，还检查了与食物厌恶感敏感性相关的社会人口特征。德语瑞士成年人（N=1181）完成了纸质问卷。除了食物厌恶感量表（FDS）外，问卷还包括了几个已建立的饮食行为量表，如成人挑食问卷、寻求食物多样性的量表和食物频率问卷。此外，还通过自我报告评估了食物浪费频率。多元回归分析表明，随着年龄的增长，食物厌恶感敏感性得分增加，女性的 FDS 得分高于男性。此外，虽然挑食和某些食物质地的拒绝都与更高的 FDS 得分呈正相关，但对食物多样性的追求与食物厌恶感敏感性呈负相关。还观察到 FDS 得分与某些食物消费频率之间存在显著相关性（例如蔬菜、海鲜）。最后，FDS 得分较高的人比 FDS 得分较低的人报告食物浪费频率更高。研究结果表明，个体的食物厌恶感敏感性在各种食物领域中都发挥了作用。
