This study examines the relative stability of adolescent attitudes towards animal research, using data from the Longitudinal Study of American Youth (LSAY). The majority of adolescents were found to have either uncertain or unstable attitudes towards animal research. Five groups of students were studied: consistent supporters of animal research, consistent opponents of animal research, those who were uncertain about their position, those who moved from support to opposition, and those who moved from opposition to support. The greatest distinguishing feature between opponents and supporters of animal research was gender. Opponents of animal research were predominantly female, while supporters were predominantly male. The study also examined the relationship between attitudes towards animal research and science achievement, science course enrolment, parent education, environmental interest, and feminism.
