- Today’s episode concerns how the emotion of disgust could help halt coronavirus transmission. I adopt the evolutionary perspective of the research psychologist Dr Debra Liberman, who details her perspective in Insight 3 in the paper linked below.

As a young person working in a hospital throughout covid, I found at the start when discussing with friends over their misconceptions of the disease, the more graphic the account I provided, the more they seemed to re-evaluate, so this was super relevant to me. Thanks for another great video Pat!
That is really interesting insight Joshua, thank you so much for sharing! You mentioned it was at the start of the pandemic that appeals to disgust were particularly relevant. Have you found that over the course of the pandemic that this appeal to people's disgust has become less important?
Is moral disgust related to moral distress?
Very interesting question Simon! My understanding is that moral disgust would involve more visceral sensations (e.g. nausea), whereas moral distress would be more associated with the "heady" sensations of typical stress (e.g. frustration, anxiety).
Does that answer your question?
Kinda like the really vulgar images of facial tumors you see on cigarette packages in more developed countries such as the Philippines and Thailand
Absolutely Snippets! I wonder what their efficacy has been since their introduction... Food for further research!
