• Subjects (N = 20) with marked contamination concerns<br />

were treated with 30 min. of repeated in vivo exposure<br />

(cleaning a ‘dirty’ bed pan), during which time their fear<br />

<strong>and</strong> disgust levels were repeatedly measured.<br />

• Results indicated that repeated exposure led to a<br />

significant decline in fear but not disgust. The observed<br />

decline in fear remained significant after accounting for<br />

changes in disgust <strong>and</strong> vice versa.<br />

• There was also evidence that lower fear decline during<br />

repeated exposure was associated with higher disgust<br />

ratings after the exposure was completed.<br />
