Development and validation of the pathological lying inventory
Pathological lying has been studied for over a century, but only recently validated diagnostic criteria were developed that consider the frequency, pervasiveness, and chronicity of lying, along with the distress, dysfunction, and risks of danger caused by lying. Using these new criteria, we crafted a set of survey items aimed at measuring those features. In study 1, we carried out exploratory factor analyses that confirmed a three-factor model fo…

Is religion an evolutionarily evoked disease-avoidance strategy
Religion is a cross-cultural phenomenon that is deserving of an evolutionary explanation. One of the seemingly universal characteristics of religion is its emphasis on purity-related rituals. These rituals may be a clue to the biological and evolutionary underpinnings of religion. It may be that religion is an evolutionarily evoked disease-avoidance strategy. Adopting this perspective can help us better understand some of the most perplexing ques…

Religious conservatism: An evolutionarily evoked disease-avoidance strategy
Issues of purity and symbolic cleansing (e.g., baptism) play an important role in most religions, especially Christianity. The purpose of the current research was to provide an evolutionary framework for understanding the role of disgust in religiosity, which may help elucidate the relationship between religious conservatism and non-proscribed prejudice (e.g., prejudice toward sexual minorities). The behavioral immune system (BIS) is a cluster of…
Individual Differences in the Behavioral Immune System and the Emergence of Cultural Systems
Cultural variation may be evoked through the interaction between domain-specific psychological mechanisms and environmental conditions (Gangestad, Haselton, & Buss, 2006 ). One such constellation of mechanisms is the behavioral immune system, a cluster of psychological processes evolved to promote disease-avoidance ( Schaller, 2006 ). Previous research demonstrated that higher levels of both historic and contemporary pathogen prevalence are predi…
Disgust: A predictor of social conservatism and prejudicial attitudes toward homosexuals
Predicting Attitudes toward Operation Iraqi Freedom
98 male and female college students ranging in age from 17 to 22 years (M= 19.2, SD= 1.1) were administered a questionnaire that contained Altemeyer's 20-item Right-Wing Authoritarianism Scale (RWA), questions about the legitimacy of the 2000 presidential election, Mayton's Physical Nonviolence Subscale, and a scale designed to measure attitudes toward Operation Iraqi Freedom. RWA scores, perceptions of the legitimacy of the 2000 presidential ele…
