The purpose of this study was to contribute to the planning of solutions and preventive measures against exclusionary behaviors targeting specific minority groups. Focusing on disgust and related emotions, which have rarely been addressed in previous research, the authors developed a hypothetical comprehensive model that explains the psychological processes behind social exclusion, starting from information input, attention bias, cognitive evaluation, emotions, exclusionary attitude, and such behavior. In order to validate the model, we conducted a survey on impressions of Northeast Asian countries with 1068 participants, based on previous studies (Kawano & Nakamura, 2021). As a result of the analysis of covariance for the structural equation model reflecting the hypothetical model, it was confirmed that the model shows the sufficient fit to the date as a comprehensive psychological process model, and we were able to provide guidelines for contributing to the planning of solutions to problems and preventive measures based on the psychological processes behind social exclusion.
