RELACIÓN ENTRE PROPENSIÓN, SENSIBILIDAD AL ASCO Y SELECCIÓN DE RAMA PROFESIONAL
2015
Resumen Los modelos tradicionales han sugerido que el asco es una emocion basica con componentes cognitivos, fisiologicos y conductuales distintivos, que actua para prevenir la contaminacion y la enfermedad. Del mismo modo que ocurre con el miedo, el asco podria desempenar una funcion claramente adaptativa. En el presente trabajo queremos examinar si la sensibilidad al asco puede tener relacion con la orientacion laboral en jovenes. La muestra estuvo compuesta por estudiantes de un centro de formacion profesional, con una media de 21.25 anos ( DT = 5.40), de forma colectiva se aplico el siguiente instrumento de autoinforme: Disgust Propensity and Sesitivity Scale-Revised-12 (DPSS-R-12). La DPSS-R-12 permite obtener puntuaciones para dos dimensiones del asco, propension y sensibilidad. Basandonos en ANOVAs, constatamos asociaciones significativas entre la propension al asco y la orientacion laboral. Se discuten los resultados y el papel de la emocion del asco como posible factor condicionante en la eleccion de la rama profesional. Abstract Traditional models suggest that disgust is a basic emotion with distinctive cognitive, physiological and behavioural components, which acts to prevent the possibility of contamination and disease. As occurs with fear, disgust can play a clearly adaptive function. In this paper we examine if sensitivity to disgust can be related with employment orientation in young people. The sample was composed by students from a vocational school, with an average age of 21.25 years ( SD = 5.40). A self-report inventory named "Disgust Propensity and Sensitivity Scale-Revised (DPSS-R-12)" was collectively applied. The DPSS-R-12 allows to get scores for two dimensions of disgust: propensity and sensitivity. On the basis of the ANOVAs obtained, we found significant associations between the propensity to disgust and employment orientation. The results are discussed as well as the role of disgust as a possible determinant factor in the choice of the professional branch.
