"These mechanisms scan the environment for features indicative of pathogens. Things like the odors that we perceive as bad sores on people's faces etc. And when such things are detected they trigger disgust motivations to avoid contact etc. (3/X)" @joshtybur on X 2025-07-18 14:23:20 UTC 1842 followers, XX engagements
"In a longitudinal study we collected data at four time points during the pandemic: May 2020 February 2021 October 2021 and June 2022. (6/X)" @joshtybur on X 2025-07-18 14:23:22 UTC 1842 followers, XX engagements
"Some proposals suggest that just making disease threats salient - by having people read or think about diseases - engages the behavioral immune system and increases motivations and behaviors specialized for pathogen avoidance. See e.g. here: (4/X)" @joshtybur on X 2025-07-18 14:23:21 UTC 1842 followers, XX engagements
"Some mental mechanisms evolved (i.e. are specialized) for avoiding pathogens. These mechanisms are referred to as the behavioral immune system. See e.g. here: (2/X)" @joshtybur on X 2025-07-18 14:23:20 UTC 1842 followers, XX engagements
"Notably these results follow from other analyses on this same data set: xenophobia did not change across the pandemic: (9/X)" @joshtybur on X 2025-07-18 14:23:23 UTC 1842 followers, XX engagements
"New paper out in Evolution and Human Behavior with Hongyu Sun (first author) and @LFanPsych: Comfort with microbe-sharing contact across the COVID-19 pandemic: Testing behavioral immune system predictions A🧵(1/X)" @joshtybur on X 2025-07-18 14:23:19 UTC 1842 followers, XXX engagements
"Clearly people went to great efforts to avoid (COVID) infection during the pandemic (e.g. masking isolating hand washing). Not all behaviors with pathogen-neutralizing effects emerge from mental mechanisms specialized for pathogen avoidance though.

"These findings cast doubt on the idea that abstract information about disease threats engages mental mechanisms that are specialized (i.e. have evolved) for neutralizing pathogens. (8/X)" @joshtybur on X 2025-07-18 14:23:23 UTC 1842 followers, XX engagements
