Abstract Pathogen aversion is the basis of all disgust, and its adaptive function is the first line of defense for individuals against pathogen infection. In today’s unique times, clues or events related to virus transmission are more likely to trigger people’s pathogen aversion, which in turn affects their decision-making and behavior. However, the impact of pathogen aversion on fair decision-making is still unclear. This study examined the influence of pathogen aversion on unfair decision-making by using the classical ultimatum game paradigm, the third-party altruistic punishment paradigm, and the dictator game paradigm, respectively. The experimental results found that： （1） In the ultimatum task, pathogen aversion increased the individual’s rejection rate of the unfair plan for recipients of unfair schemes; （2） In the third-party altruistic punishment task, pathogen aversion increased the individual’s rejection rate of unfair solutions for third-party evaluators of unfair programs; （3） In the dictator game task, pathogen aversion increased the rate of individuals proposing unfair solutions for the proposer of unfair solutions; （4） In ultimatums and third-party altruistic punishment missions, pathogen aversion reduced an individual’s response to an unfair program. Conclusion： The role of the individual mediates the influence of pathogen aversion on fair decision-making, and the results are helpful to further clarify the influence mechanism of pathogen aversion on fair perception and decision-mking and to provide suggestions for public decision-making and public publicity in the post-epidemic era.
