Disgust: the emotion we know the least about; present in preschool children. Parents (cid:0) they tell their kids what"s disgusting or not. Adaptive b/c keeps them away from harmful stimuli eg. poo, vomit, blood. Have basic or complex emotions in response to a situation ie. ashamed they didn"t defend a classmate.
