Coping With Disgusting Consumption: Managing Threats From Self and Others

This research investigates disgust associated with consumption. It proposes that disgust poses both personal and social threats that consumers must manage. Using a netnographic method, eleven themes for how individuals cope with disgusting consumption on a cloth diapering discussion board are identified. These themes support a dual-threat conceptualization.
