An initial investigation of the unique relationship between disgust propensity and body dysmorphic disorder
Abstract
Disgust is a universal emotion that has received recent empirical attention for its potential role in various forms of psychopathology. We conducted two studies using varying methods to explore the relationship between disgust propensity, a construct related to obsessive-compulsive symptomatology, and symptoms of body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). Study 1 found a significant and unique (i.e., above and beyond co-occurring depression and anxiety) relationship between higher disgust propensity and more severe BDD symptoms, as measured by a standardized self-report and via an in-vivo task aimed at eliciting BDD-related concerns (N = 200). In Study 2, a clinical sample of individuals with BDD (N = 50) reported higher disgust propensity compared to mentally healthy controls (N = 36). This finding remained significant when controlling for depression and anxiety. Findings are the first to our knowledge to demonstrate a relationship between disgust propensity and BDD symptoms and provide directions for future research exploring the role of disgust in BDD.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
