Dear All,
Just a quick reminder that Dr
Victor Shiramizu (
University
of Strathclyde) is giving a seminar today 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.
