PAPER: Neutralising the meat paradox
If you've questioned meat-eating habits before, you're not alone. Researchers from the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide (et al) have been the apparent disconnection between not wanting animals to suffer, yet killing them for food. This has been termed the 鈥榤eat paradox'.
Meat eating is a common behaviour, despite many people claiming to like, love, and care about animals. In this study, participants completed multiple attitude questionnaires towards animals, under two conditions. They included: exposure to the life of an 最新糖心Vlogn meat lamb and being given the information about the nutritional benefits of meat.
It was revealed that negative affect was significantly greater when participants were exposed to the meat-animal connection; however, more entrenched attitudes towards animals and attachment to meat remained unaffected.
Gender played a large role across all variables most notably, meat attachment differed according to gender, decreasing in women and increasing in men when exposed to the meat-animal condition. Findings from the contribute to understanding how habitual thoughts, beliefs and inconsistencies are rationalised by meat consumers.
