abstract = {For humans, like other social animals, behaviour acts as a
first line of defence against pathogens. A key component is
the ability to detect subtle perceptual cues of sick
conspecifics. The present study assessed the effects of
endotoxin-induced olfactory and visual sickness cues on
liking, as well as potential involved mechanisms.
Seventy-seven participants were exposed to sick and healthy
facial pictures and body odours from the same individual in
a 2 × 2 factorial design while disgust-related facial
electromyography (EMG) was recorded. Following exposure,
participants rated their liking of the person presented. In
another session, participants also answered questionnaires
on perceived vulnerability to disease, disgust sensitivity
and health anxiety. Lower ratings of liking were linked to
both facial and body odour disease cues as main effects.
Disgust, as measured by EMG, did not seem to be the
mediating mechanism, but participants who perceived
themselves as more prone to disgust, and as more vulnerable
to disease, liked presented persons less irrespectively of
their health status. Concluding, olfactory and visual
sickness cues that appear already a few hours after the
experimental induction of systemic inflammation have
implications for human sociality and may as such be a part
of a behavioural defence against disease.},
