Adaptations to Ovulation (2005, background): “Fessler and Navarrete (2003) assessed women’s disgust in several domains: maladaptive sex such as incest and bestiality, food aversiveness, and filth.”
Women's preferences for masculinity in male faces are predicted by pathogen disgust, but not by moral or sexual disgust (2010, background): “Additionally, concern about pathogens (and, presumably, disgust sensitivity) has been hypothesized to change across the menstrual cycle (Fessler & Navarrete, 2003).”
Disgust and mating strategy (2015, background): “In this paper, we focus on sexual disgust, an emotion that has been hypothesized to "reduce participation in biologically suboptimal sexual behaviors" (Fessler & Navarrete, 2003, p. 406).”
Disgust as a disease-avoidance mechanism. (2009, methodology): “However, for some researchers (e.g., Case, Repacholi, & Stevenson, 2006; Curtis & Biran, 2001; Davey, 1994; Fessler & Navarrete, 2003; Royzman & Sabini, 2001; Schaller & Duncan, 2007; Toronchuk & Ellis, 2007), this relationship is central to their functional conception of disgust.”
Elevated disgust sensitivity in the first trimester of pregnancy: Evidence supporting the compensatory prophylaxis hypothesis (2005, background): “Although disgust sensitivity varies by age ( Fessler & Navarrete, 2003a; Quigley, Sherman, & Sherman, 1997), because participants did not differ significantly in age across trimester groups, this variable was not included.”
Third-party attitudes toward sibling incest: Evidence for Westermarck's hypotheses (2004, background): “Given that it is likely that disgust originally evolved to protect against pathogen exposure (Curtis et al., 2004; Fessler & Navarrete, 2003b) and was subsequently exapted to the domain of sexual behavior (Cosmides & Tooby, 2000; Fessler & Navarrete, 2003a ), it may simply not have been possible to”
The voice and face of woman: One ornament that signals quality? (2005, unknown): “Many published studies have used Internet-based tests to assess face preferences and other behaviors (Fessler & Navarrete, 2003; Jones et al., 2005; Little, Burt, Penton-Voak, & Perrett, 2001; Little & Jones, 2003; Little, Jones, Penton-Voak, Burt, & Perrett, 2002, 2003; Oates & Wilson, 2002), and…”
Risk-taking as a situationally sensitive male mating strategy (2008, background): “Conversely, disgust may help women avoid risks associated with exposure to contagion, an especially pernicious adaptive problem for women because of potential infection of offspring (Fessler & Navarrete, 2003).”
Disgust: evolved function and structure. (2013, background): “…Keane, Manes, Antoun, & Young, 2000; Curtis , Aunger, & Rabie, 2004; Curtis & Biran, 2001; Curtis et al., 2011; Fessler, Eng, & Navarrete, 2005; Fessler & Navarrete, 2003a; Fleischman & Fessler, 2011; Kelly, 2011; Marzillier & Davey, 2004; Oaten et al., 2009; Olatunji & Sawchuk, 2005; Rozin…”
