Disgust Sensitivity measures the tendency for expressions to frame sensations, bodily states, odors, contamination cues, and smoking-related effects as gross, offensive, dirty, or physically repellent. It encompasses both general disgust reactions and disgust specifically attached to the sensory and bodily consequences of smoking.

Bands

Minimal Disgust Sensitivity

Expressions activating this band show only faint or indirect disgust-related content, with reactions centered more on worry, coping, preference, or practical concerns than on revulsion. Disgust, if present, is muted and not the organizing emotional response.

Low Disgust Sensitivity

Expressions activating this band register mild aversion or discomfort tied to smoking, bodily sensations, or social reactions, while still allowing enjoyment, stimulation, or mixed appraisal. Repellent qualities are noticed but not strongly elaborated.

Moderate Disgust Sensitivity

Expressions activating this band portray smoking, bodily effects, or sensory experiences as unpleasant, dirty, damaging, or uncomfortable. Disgust is clearly present as a felt reaction and is linked to physical weakness, cough, breathlessness, or contamination-like cues.

High Disgust Sensitivity

Expressions activating this band depict strong revulsion toward body odors, smoking, or bodily consequences using explicit grossness language and vivid rejection. The reaction is immediate, sensory, and physically aversive.

Severe Disgust Sensitivity

Expressions activating this band convey intense, unmistakable revulsion toward smoking-related residue, smells, sounds, or contamination cues. Disgust is expressed as a visceral recoil response marked by emphatic terms such as yuck or eww.
