Dear All,
This Wednesday Dr Victor Shiramizu
<https://www.arch.cam.ac.uk/staff/dr-sylvain-lemoine> (University of Strathclyde)
will be giving a seminar entitled "How disgusted? Reviewing findings of the
Compensatory Prophylaxis Hypothesis". Please find the abstract below. Please note
that the seminar will take place in Room 4B96 (and hybrid, since our common room is not
available that day). The seminar will be chaired by Anthony Lee. We hope to see you
there!
Abstract: Several studies have suggested that disgust, particularly pathogen disgust and
contamination sensitivity, varies throughout women's ovulatory cycle, peaking in the
luteal phase due to increased progesterone levels. The Compensatory Prophylaxis Hypothesis
(CPH) proposes that women exhibit heightened disgust sensitivity to pathogen cues during
the luteal phase (or when progesterone levels are elevated) because progesterone is linked
to suppressed immune responses. However, evidence supporting this hypothesis is mixed. I
will review current findings in the literature of studies testing the CPH using both
large-scale between- and within-subjects designs.
