Investigating the conservatism-disgust paradox in reactions to the COVID-19 pandemic: A reexamination of the interrelations among political ideology, disgust sensitivity, and pandemic response.

Replicating our previous results, we found a significant association between self-reported disgust sensitivity (i.e., DS-R scores) and political conservatism (β = .17, t (150) = 2.14, p = .03, 95% CI[.01, .33]), a marginally significant association between self-reported disgust sensitivity and pandemic response (β = .16, t (150) = 1.95, p = .053, 95% CI[-.002, .32]), and a negative association between conservatism and pandemic response (β = -.22, t (150) = -2.75, p = .007, 95% CI[-.38,-.06]).
