‘Look not at what is contrary to propriety’: A meta-analytic exploration of the association between religiosity and sensitivity to disgust (2021)
Journal Article
Yu, Z., Bali, P., Tsikandilakis, M., & Tong, E. M. W. (2022). ‘Look not at what is contrary to propriety’: A meta-analytic exploration of the association between religiosity and sensitivity to disgust. British Journal of Social Psychology, 61(1), 276-299. https://doi.org/10.1111/bjso.12479

Previous research has suggested that disgust sensitivity contributes to moral self-regulation. The relationship between religiosity and disgust sensitivity is frequently explored as a moderator of moral-regulating ideologies, such as conservative and...
