Recent studies were able to associate disgust with the moral domain of purity, as well as a heightened sensitivity to disgust with sexual victimization. However, no empirical evidence has yet to document the exact relation between sexual victimization and its impact on the moralization of purity. Therefore, the present study aimed to examine the relationship between child sexual abuse (CSA) and the moral domain of purity, by means of judgments toward three different types of disgust: pathogen, sexual and moral. To test this, The Three Domains of Disgust Scale (TDDS) was given to both CSA participants (n = 29) and to a non-sexually abused population (N-SAP; n = 31). . Results have shown a statistically significant difference between the CSA and N-SAP groups on the combined dependent variables (i.e., pathogen, sexual and moral disgust). However, only the sexual disgust domain, out of the other two domains has been found to hold significance. Furthermore, consistent with previous empirical findings, similar gender patterns of moral judgments have been found between the two groups (i.e., CSA and N-SAP), though with a statistical significance only in the sexual domain. Implications of these findings are discussed.
最近的研究能够将厌恶感与纯洁的道德领域联系起来，以及对性受害的厌恶感的敏感性增强。然而，目前还没有实证证据来记录性受害与对纯洁的道德化的影响之间的确切关系。因此，本研究旨在通过对三种不同类型的厌恶感（病原体、性和道德）的判断，来检验儿童性虐待（CSA）与纯洁的道德领域之间的关系。为此，对 CSA 参与者（n=29）和非性受虐人群（N-SAP；n=31）进行了《三种厌恶感量表》（TDDS）的测试。结果表明，CSA 组和 N-SAP 组在综合因变量（即病原体、性和道德厌恶感）上存在统计学显著差异。然而，只有性厌恶感这一领域与其他两个领域相比具有显著意义。此外，与先前的实证研究结果一致，两个组（即 CSA 和 N-SAP）在道德判断方面存在相似的性别模式，但仅在性领域具有统计学意义。讨论了这些发现的含义。
