The Impact of COVID-19 Epidemic Declaration on Psychological Consequences: A Study on Active Weibo Users (2020, background): “Previous studies indicated that people tended to exaggerate attitudes and prejudices, especially when they felt more vulnerable to disease transmission [36] .”
Regional variation in pathogen prevalence predicts endorsement of group-focused moral concerns (2012, background): “Consistent with this possibility, disease vulnerability enhances negativity towards outgroups (Faulkner et al., 2004; Navarrete & Fessler, 2006; Navarrete et al., 2007); however, we know of no research that evaluates either the reverse relationship wherein outgroup threat enhances perceived disease…”
The science and philosophy of martial arts: exploring the connections between the cognitive, physical, and spiritual aspects of martial arts (2024, unknown): “…harmful infections to which local residents are not immune (McNeill, 1976), and less likely to conform to local customs which often serve as buffers against disease transmission (e.g., food preparation practices, medical treatment, hygienic and sexual behaviors; Navarrete, Fessler, and Eng, 2007).”
The social impact of pathogen threat: How disease salience influences conformity (2012, background): “Consistent with this hypothesis is evidence that ethnocentrism increases with enhanced pathogen threat among both ordinary people (Navarrete & Fessler, 2006) and pregnant women (Navarrete et al., 2007).”
The behavioral immune system: Current concerns and future directions (2018, background): “…the preferred mode of illness avoidance in environments where the behavioral management of pathogens is likely to be effective, in cases where the physiological immunity is suppressed (Miller & Maner, 2011; Navarrete et al., 2007) and in contexts where longevity is favored (Hill et al., 2017).”
Pathogens, personality, and culture: disease prevalence predicts worldwide variability in sociosexuality, extraversion, and openness to experience. (2008, background): “Xenophobic responses are also amplified by temporary contextual cues that make the threat of disease temporarily salient (Faulkner et al., 2004) and among people whose normal immunological defenses are temporarily compromised ( Navarrete et al., 2007 ).”
Disgust as a disease-avoidance mechanism. (2009, background): “Navarrete, Fessler, and Eng (2007) found that women in their first trimester exhibited greater in-group favoritism than did women in their second or third trimester.”
Practical Work at School Reduces Disgust and Fear of Unpopular Animals (2012, background): “…as pathogen avoidance mechanisms (Prokop, Fančovičová, & Fedor, 2010; Prokop et al., 2010a, 2010b; Oaten et al., 2009; Stevenson et al., 2009; Tybur et al., 2009; Navarrete et al., 2007; Schaller et al., 2007; Curtis et al., 2004), because wood lice do not pose a risk of contamination to humans.”
The Behavioral Immune System: Implications for Social Cognition, Social Interaction, and Social Influence (2016, background): “Other studies show that during the first trimester of pregnancy—when immunological responses to infection are suppressed—women exhibit elevated sensitivity to disgust and more exaggerated ethnocentric attitudes (Fessler, 2002; Fessler et al., 2005; Navarrete et al., 2007).”
