Vystopia
Identifying specific emotional stressors is a valuable tool for addressing mental health problems. Vegans often experience emotional strain due to heightened exposure to the suffering of animals, a phenomenon termed “vystopia.” Given the rising rates of veganism in the West, this is likely to be an increasingly salient concern. However, there are no validated measures to assess vystopia. In this study, we developed and validated an 8-item Vystopi…
Why we detach from other animals
Understanding our relation to animals is essential to tackle global challenges that arise out of the prioritization of human over nonhuman animal interests, like in the case of meat consumption. Meat is linked to ethically questionable animal agriculture practices, climate change, biodiversity loss, and pandemics. To understand the prioritization and legitimization of the human–animal relation, we utilized the ingroup projection model for human–a…
Associations between romantic partners’ dietary motives and their plant-based meat alternative consumption
Plant-based meat alternatives (PBMAs) play a key role in the transition towards more sustainable food systems. Consumer research has so far primarily focused on how personal factors influence people's decisions for or against PBMAs. Yet dietary choices are socially embedded and subject to interpersonal influences. Among these, romantic partners may be particularly important for each other's PBMA consumption because of their close relationship and…
Distinguishing Interpersonal Problems, Sensitivities, Values, and Efficacies
Covariation among the octant scales of Interpersonal Circumplex (IPC) measures can be accounted for by a general elevation factor and two stylistic factors that can be rotated to reflect dominance and warmth. IPC measures are available to assess different interpersonal surfaces, or different kinds of interpersonal functioning. Administration of multiple IPC measures enables multisurface interpersonal assessment, in which both convergences and div…
Associations between motivations for and against eating meat with four types of meat engagement
Because of its negative consequences for animal welfare, human health, and the environment, many individuals and institutions are interested in reducing meat consumption. To achieve this goal, it is important to understand the reasons people have both to eat meat (e.g., liking the taste) and to avoid it (e.g., environmental concerns), and how these reasons relate to meat engagement. However, existing research often examines motivations and outcom…
Personality and Meat Consumption Among Romantic Partners in Daily Life
OBJECTIVE: Eating is often a social activity that can be influenced by others, particularly in close relationships when dietary preferences reflect underlying value differences. We sought to examine the personality traits of meat-eating couples who differ in their preferences for meat. METHOD: We recruited Swiss romantic couples in which one partner typically consumed more meat than the other (N = 272, couples = 136). At baseline, participants co…
Personality Aspects and Attitudes About Animal Welfare Legislation
The US Supreme Court recently debated and upheld a significant piece of farmed animal welfare legislation, Proposition 12, which was broadly supported by Californian voters. The goal of this study was to determine how individual differences in personality are related to attitudes about this legislation. We examined how ten lower-order aspects of the Big Five personality traits were related to Proposition 12 in an American sample (n = 802). The Op…
