Reasoning to Justify Eating Animals Varies With Age
The present study examined the justifications used by children, adolescents, and adults to justify eating animals. Children (n = 100, Mage = 9.82, SD = 0.77, female n = 49) as compared to adolescents (n = 76, Mage = 14.0, SD = 1.62, female n = 36) and adults (n = 113, Mage = 44.1, SD = 14.4, female n = 54) were more ambivalent or opposed to eating animals, and they showed a distinct reasoning pattern. Children relied less on arguments about meat …
How Should We Treat Farmed Animals? Adolescents Are More Speciesist Than Adults
Adults engage in psychological processes (including species‐based categorisation and post‐hoc reasoning) that result in ascribing high moral value to some animals while eating others. Do adolescents engage in similar processes? We compared adolescents’ ( n = 89, M age = 13.54) and adults’ ( n = 113, M age = 43.73) views on four measurements. Regarding moral judgements, we found that adolescents were (a) more speciesist than adults (i.e., believed…
Age‐related differences in reasoning about the acceptability of eating animals
Children in the western world often are socialized as meat‐eaters, while caring much about animals. Yet we know little about how children think about eating animals and animal products, which will have important consequences for global meat consumption. Participants ( n = 479, 80% White British, 57% female; children n = 119, Mage = 10.03, SD = 0.72; young adults n = 181, Mage = 19.09, SD = 0.85; adults n = 179, Mage = 40.97, SD = 8.18) reasoned a…
