According to psychologists Paul Rozin, Jonathan Haidt and Clark McCauley it is possible to outline a topology of disgust which proceeds from the very basic physiological response to a potential contagion towards a symbolic and evaluative sphere in which the disgusting is judged morally. Thus disgust ceases to be a mere means of protecting the body and becomes the means of protecting the self, which, in turn, makes it a powerful factor of positive and negative socialisation. The aim of the present article is to discuss the disgust elicitors in chosen science fiction computer games and thus to analyse how the logic of physical, emotional and moral disgust, one of the most basic psychological mechanisms, assumes the central, even if latent, role in organising the narrative and plot structures of these games.

The article explores the role of disgust in generating ethnic prejudice. The study investigated the effects of experimentally induced emotions (disgust, fear, sadness and neutral mood) on psychological distance taken towards pictures of people with different skin color (a modified Approach-Avoidance Simulation method of A. Fila-Jankowska and K. Jankowski was used). Disgust made participants withdraw from pictures presenting faces of ethnic groups different from own group. The psychological distance taken under influence of disgust was the largest in comparison with remaining conditions of experiment. Participants withdrew from faces of members of the out-group only but not members of the in-group (European faces). The psychological distance was larger in case of groups that are targets of stereotypes in the society than in case of those who are not subject to stereotypization. The results also showed that women judged the pictures of the outgroup members more harshly than men, as manifested in larger distances taken.
