Determinants of willingness to eat insects in the USA and India (2015, background): “Surprisingly, moral beliefs about eating insects and beliefs about the risks of insect consumption were not substantial predictors of insect acceptance; Indians were more concerned about moral issues around eating insects, perhaps related to Hinduism and the related, much higher, incidence of vegeta”
Brief Measures of the Animal Attitude Scale (2015, background): “Cronbach’s alphas typically range from 0.85 to 0.95. the scale’s concurrent and convergent validity have also been established. aaS scores are positively correlated with the “Profit” subscale of taylor and Signal’s (2009) Pet, Pest, and Profit Scale (r = 0.83, p < 0.01) and negatively correlated wit”
It ain’t easy eating greens: Evidence of bias toward vegetarians and vegans from both source and target (2017, background): “With rates of meat consumption decreasing and rates of vegetarianism increasing in Western countries (Ruby, 2012), this examination is culturally timely, in addition to addressing theoretical questions about intergroup biases.”
From mostly vegetarian to fully vegetarian: Meat avoidance and the expression of social identity (2020, background): “Whereas a sizeable literature exists documenting how vegetarians construe their diets (Rosenfeld, 2018; Ruby, 2012), much less is known about flexitarians, despite the number of flexitarians far outweighing the number of vegetarians.”
Gender differences in vegetarian identity: How men and women construe meatless dieting (2020, background): “Accordingly, gender has played a central role in psychological investigations of vegetarianism (Rosenfeld, 2018; Ruby, 2012).”
Sustainability and meat consumption: is reduction realistic? (2013, background): “While the dominant position of meat in most contemporary food cultures is clearly evident, our findings suggest that its status is not indomitable (a suggestion also made by Holm & Møhl, 2000; Assadourian, 2010; Carolan, 2012; Ruby, 2012).”
The Psychology of Eating Animals (2014, background): “Studies of vegetarianism have revealed that moral concern regarding the raising and slaughter of animals is a principal motivation for eliminating meat consumption (Amato & Partridge, 1989; Ruby, 2012).”
We Can’t Keep Meating Like This: Attitudes towards Vegetarian and Vegan Diets in the United Kingdom (2019, result): “This is in line with previous research which has indicated that men tend to consume more meat and are less likely to be vegetarian or vegan compared to women [56,57].”
Understanding the protein transition: The rise of plant-based meat substitutes (2020, background): “Vegetarian and vegan diets have been practiced for thousands of years (Ruby, 2012).”
Viewpoint: Regulating meat consumption to improve health, the environment and animal welfare (2020, background): “In addition, society is more and more concerned by animal suffering and welfare in the farming industry, which is likely associated with the growing number of vegetarian and vegan consumers in rich countries (Ruby, 2012; The Economist, 2018).”
