[edit source]Hey there I'm Jackster_10 and and doing a slightly relevant chapter about motivation and personal hygiene, while doing some research I came across this article https://doi.org/10.1093/her/cyp002 which may be of use to you, it talks about hygiene standards and touches on motivations for hand washing including disgust, and has a paragraph on how disgust can be used as a motivator. The information isn't too detailed but you may be able to gain some information from it. Cheers, Jackster_10 Jackster 10 (discuss • contribs) 05:48, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
Hi U3214564 so far your chapter provides a clear and engaging analysis of how disgust influences hygiene behaviours, highlighting both its evolutionary role as a disease defence and its psychological mechanisms. This is so insightful! Great work on presenting such a nuanced view of how disgust shapes our hygiene behaviours (: - U3236641
