The present studies examine developmental changes in the elicitors of disgust by examining adults' and children's ideas of what is disgusting. In three experiments, we asked adults and children between the ages of 3 and 12 to report what is "disgusting," what is "gross," or what might have caused someone to make a disgust face. In Study 1, parents of 3- to 12-year-old children ( = 120) were asked what they thought was disgusting and what they thought their children would find disgusting and completed a picky eating questionnaire to examine the extent to which children's eating habits may be related to disgust. In Studies 2 and 3 ( = 98 per study), children were asked what they thought was disgusting. In Study 3, children's parents also completed a questionnaire about their child's food pickiness. Typically eaten foods that were not contaminated or spoiled were frequently mentioned in all studies, both by children and their parents. There was considerable diversity in the disgust elicitors that were mentioned across participants, highlighting the importance of examining individual differences in the development of disgust.

本研究通过考察成人和儿童对什么是令人厌恶的看法，来研究厌恶情绪的诱发因素在发展过程中的变化。在三项实验中，我们要求 3 至 12 岁的儿童和成年人报告什么是“令人厌恶”，什么是“恶心”，或者什么可能会让人做出厌恶的表情。在研究 1 中，120 名 3 至 12 岁儿童的家长被要求说出他们认为什么是令人厌恶的，以及他们认为自己的孩子会觉得什么是令人厌恶的，并填写了一份挑食调查问卷，以考察孩子的饮食习惯与厌恶感之间的关系。在研究 2 和 3 中（每项研究各有 98 名参与者），儿童被要求说出他们认为什么是令人厌恶的。在研究 3 中，儿童的家长还填写了一份关于孩子挑食情况的问卷。在所有研究中，无论是儿童还是他们的家长，通常都会提到那些未被污染或变质的可食用食物。在被提到的令人厌恶的诱发因素方面，参与者之间存在着相当大的差异，这突出了研究厌恶感发展中个体差异的重要性。（APA，2021）
