Pre-pandemic disgust proneness predicts increased coronavirus anxiety and safety behaviors: Evidence for a diathesis-stress model 2020-09-22 .txt text/plain 4267 219 46 Two moderation models were tested using the PROCESS macro (Hayes, 2017 ) to examine whether current stress level moderated the relation between pre-pandemic disgust proneness and coronavirus fear and safety behaviors, respectively, controlling for number of COVID-19 cases by state. Conditional effects analysis revealed that there was no significant relation between pre-pandemic disgust proneness and coronavirus fear at low and medium levels of current stress (p's > .05). Conditional effects analysis revealed that there was no significant relation between pre-pandemic disgust proneness and coronavirus safety behaviors at low levels of current stress (p > .05). The present study examined the predictive effect of pre-pandemic disgust proneness on coronavirus anxiety and safety behaviors during the pandemic, as well as the moderating effect of current levels of perceived stress. In contrast, those reporting low current perceived stress did not demonstrate a significant relation between pre-pandemic disgust proneness and coronavirus safety behaviors. ./cache/cord-315619-gowtohr8.txt ./txt/cord-315619-gowtohr8.txt
