Evidence for the common or usual name for plant-based food products
Common or usual names for food products are important for regulation and consumer understanding. Because some plant-based products aimed at mimicking animal-based products are relatively new, there is little evidence concerning whether those products have common or usual names, and if they do, what those common or usual names might look like. We present evidence from a survey (Study 1) based on vocabulary tests ( N = 181) suggesting that using pl…
Understanding Approval of Rodeos in the United States: Risk Perceptions, Knowledge, and Values as Predictors
In three studies ( N s = 188, 324, 358), relevant knowledge, perceptions of risk, and values combined to predict approval of rodeos. Those who knew more about harms associated with rodeos were less approving of rodeos than those who knew less. However, those who knew more of protections offered by some rodeo organizations were more supportive than those who knew less. Those who had attitudes supportive of using animals for human purposes were als…
Skilled Decisions and Animals Used for Human Purposes: Results From Convenience and Representative US Samples
Developing an objective measure of knowledge of factory farming
Knowledge of human uses of animals is an important, but understudied, aspect of how humans treat animals. We developed a measure of one kind of knowledge of human uses of animals – knowledge of factory farming. Studies 1 (N = 270) and 2 (N = 270) tested an initial battery of objective, true or false statements about factory farming using Item Response Theory. Studies 3 (N = 241) and 4 (N = 278) provided evidence that responses to a 10-item Knowle…
Using food frequency questionnaires to measure traits: A case study of human consumption of animals and animal products
Measuring human consumption of animals and animal products (HCAAP) is challenging but often important for researchers and animal rights advocates. We contribute to measuring HCAAP by conceptualizing that consumption as a trait. In 3 studies, we analyzed responses from traditional Food Frequency Questionnaires and created two measures of HCAAP traits based on 24-hour and 3-month self-reports. Studies 1 (N = 249) and 2 (N = 265) evaluated the item-…
Willingness to Consume Fewer Animal Products: A Latent Profile Analysis
The goal of this research was to develop a brief instrument to identify people's stage of readiness to change consuming animals. In two studies (ns = 206, 51% male; 226, 43% male), participants responded to 15 items based on a clinical instrument of readiness to change alcohol consumption. Responses to these 15 items were then analyzed by latent profile analysis to identify participants' readiness to change stage. As predicted, we identified (1) …
Educational interventions and animal consumption: Results from lab and field studies
Monstrous Composition: Reanimating the Lecture in First-Year Writing Instruction
This article reports on one university’s experiment in resurrecting and reanimating the composition lecture, a one-hundred-plus student section dubbed “MonsterComp,” including the process, outcomes, and lessons learned. Although this restructuring of the first-year composition course was partially motivated by administrative pressures, the main motivation behind this experiment was to enhance teacher training and support while still retaining the…
