Nasty interracial gallleries

Description:One group was first shown a series of disgusting images a dirty toilet, a person vomiting , while the other was shown pleasant images of cityscapes and nature. In the first, college students were asked a series of questions about relationships, including how disgusted they felt about various configurations of interracial relationships and about their own willingness to have an interracial romance. The researchers asked the students to quickly indicate whether each couple should be included in a future study on relationships, a task that was intended to ensure participants were socially evaluating the couples while their neural activity was recorded. Participants were quicker to associate interracial couples with non-human animals and same-race couples with humans. More significantly, Skinner said, participants showed higher levels of activation in the insula — an area of the brain routinely implicated in the perception and experience of disgust — while viewing images of interracial couples. During the implicit association test, the two groups were tasked with categorizing photographs of same-race and interracial couples and silhouettes of humans and animals.
