However, when its cardiovascular correlates have been studied, contradictory results have been found, including heart rate accelerations and decelerations. The aim of this study is to analyze emotional, cognitive, and cardiovascular responses in nonclinical (control) and subclinical participants with obsessive\u2012compulsive contamination\/washing symptoms when confronted with a disgusting stimulus. Twenty-seven participants (14 subclinical OCD) completed a behavioral avoidance task with a contamination-based stimulus while their heart rate and subjective variables were measured. Results showed heart rate reductions in both samples, whereas subjective measures reflected higher disgust, anxiety, dirtiness, and emotional valence in the subclinical sample. However, at the same time, the sense of dominance was lower in the control group. In conclusion, our results support a heart rate deceleration during exposure to a disgusting stimulus dissociated from the subjective experience.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s19194180","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,27]],"date-time":"2019-09-27T03:03:15Z","timestamp":1569553395000},"page":"4180","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["The Role of Perceived Control in the Psychophysiological Responses to Disgust of Subclinical OCD Women"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6574-4532","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Miguel \u00c1ngel","family":"Serrano","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Psicobiolog\u00eda, Facultad de Psicolog\u00eda, Universitat de Val\u00e8ncia, 46010 Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vicent","family":"Rosell-Clari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Psicolog\u00eda B\u00e1sica, Facultad de Psicolog\u00eda, Universitat de Val\u00e8ncia, 46010 Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6801-1801","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gemma","family":"Garc\u00eda-Soriano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Personalidad, Evaluaci\u00f3n y Tratamientos Psicol\u00f3gicos, Facultad de Psicolog\u00eda, Universitat de Val\u00e8ncia, 46010 Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"311","DOI":"10.1016\/0005-7967(94)90127-9","article-title":"Pollution of the mind","volume":"32","author":"Rachman","year":"1994","journal-title":"Behav.
