The role of moral disengagement and animal empathy in the meat paradox.
Die Rolle des moralischen RĂŒckzugs und der tierischen #Empathie im Fleischparadox
Current levels of meat consumption are environmentally unsustainable and cause suffering to billions of animals each year. Researchers have sought to understand the psychological mechanisms driving people's meat consumption. Research suggests that having empathy towards animals may reduce a person's meat consumption, however, an empathic response does not always result in action (The âmeat paradoxâ). It may be that some people âdisengageâ from their animal related morality when consuming meat. The current study aimed to test whether #moraldisengagement mediated the relationship between #animalempathy and meat consumption.
