Psychological and cultural aspects of the human animal relationship
HEMMEROVÁ, Eva
The bacherol thesis deals with the psychological aspects of attitudes towards animals and with psychological context of eating meat. The theoretical part is focused on a historical development of attitudes towards animals and their socio-cultural determination, and the ethical aspect of our current attitudes towards animals and psychological mechanisms associated with the consumption of meat is discussed there. The empirical part examines attitudes towards animals and dependence of attribution of mental capacities to specific species on its perceived edibility. The research group consists of vegetarians and vegans (n=207) and meat eaters (n=247). Quantitative approach was combined with a qualitative research for better interpretation (n=33). The results support an expected influence of vegetarianism and gender on attitudes towards animals, as well as the influence of meat consumption on the attribution of mental capacity.
