Perceived threat of infectious disease and its implications for sexual attitudes (2013, methodology): “A limitation of these results, however, is that the SOI questionnaire employed by Duncan et al. (2009) treated long- and short-term mating styles as opposite ends of a unidimensional continuum.”
Human pathogen avoidance adaptations (2016, background): “Some evidence supports this perspective, with more pathogen avoidant individuals being less open to sexual contact with multiple partners [12 ,41,43] and less open to sampling novel cuisines [7].”
The behavioral immune system: Current concerns and future directions (2018, background): “Additionally, sex differences in immune functioning exist, with women showing both relatively greater BIS and PIS responsivity (e.g., Bouman, Heineman, & Faas, 2005; Druschel & Sherman, 1999; Duncan et al., 2009), suggestive of redundant systems.”
The social impact of pathogen threat: How disease salience influences conformity (2012, background): “Others reach similar conclusions by showing Asians to be more concerned about disease contagion than other groups (Duncan et al., 2009).”
The Behavioral Immune System: Implications for Social Cognition, Social Interaction, and Social Influence (2016, background): “Some of the evidence is merely correlational: Individuals who are more chronically concerned with disease avoidance also score lower on measures of dispositional extraversion (Duncan et al., 2009).”
How personality and policy predict pandemic behavior: Understanding sheltering-in-place in 55 countries at the onset of COVID-19. (2020, background): “…2009), people who score higher on Neuroticism tend to be more fearful of danger and disease (Duncan, Schaller, & Park, 2009; Faulkner, Schaller, Park, & Duncan, 2004), and have been shown to engage in more thorough hygienic and germ avoidance behavior (Aunger et al., 2016; Duncan et al., 2009).”
Behavioral immune system linked to responses to the threat of COVID-19 (2020, positive): “As in Study 1, participants completed the PVD questionnaire (Duncan et al., 2009).”
The Big Five Personality Traits and Attitudes towards Immigrants (2014, background): “[4] In addition, recent work suggests that neuroticism predicts perceived vulnerability to disease (Duncan, Schaller, and Park 2009), which is associated with more negative attitudes towards immigrants (Faulkner et al. 2004; Huang et al. 2011).”
