WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Disgust Scale–Revised (DS-R) Test - Symptoms and Signs
This self-report measure assesses individual differences in sensitivity to disgust across a range of common elicitors. Disgust Scale-Revised (DS-R) is typically used to characterize the intensity and pattern of disgust responding for research and clinical screening purposes. It was developed by Paul Rozin and Clark R. McCauley.
The instrument includes 27 items and takes about 5 minutes to complete. Items sample reactions to diverse disgust-related cues (e.g., contamination-related stimuli and other aversive scenarios), allowing Disgust Scale-Revised (DS-R) to support a broad profile of disgust propensity rather than a single undifferentiated score.
