Why not use this Easter to participate in some research? I currently have a few studies looking for participants. The first one consists of an online interview with young adults with nanny care experiences: #studyadvert #psychology #nanny #child

Children are disgusting, it's a known fact. But why?! Adults show proto-nausea: a gastric response to grossness. We found this to be absent in 5-13 year-olds! However, children DID show the exact same behavioural avoidance as adults. Alladin & Berry et al. (2024), doi: doi.org/10.1177/2398... (1/3)

Graph with data from a preferential looking task in children aged 5-13 years. Time is on the x-axis and a measure of behavioural disgust approach/avoidance is on the y-axis. Three lines are shown: the first presentation of a stimulus (light green), and its two repetitions (increasingly darker green). The data shows that children initially looked more at disgusting stimuli, but from about 1 second into a trial they showed a bias towards neutral stimuli. This suggests they preferred to avoid looking at disgusting stimuli in exactly the same pattern that adults show.

Graph showing electrogastrography results, with frequency on the x-acis (1-10 cycles per minute) and relative power (max-scaled within individuals) on the y-axis. A pink line indicates results when children (aged 5-13 years) looked at neutral stimuli, and it shows the expected peak in normogastric power at 3 cycles per minute. A green line shows the same but while children were looking at disgusting stimuli (bodily effluvia), and it almost exactly matches the pink line. These results suggest there was no proto-nausea (i.e. no gastric disgust signature) in the tested children (N=44).
