East Carolina University
Department of Psychology
Although I do not currently have an active research program in this area, I continue to be interested in it and may become more active in this area in the future.
Here are links to documents in which I have presented the results of my research in this area:
Support for Animal Rights and Perceived Similarity Between Humans and Other Animals
Evaluating the Morality of Animal Research: Effects of Ethical Ideology, Gender, and Purpose
I am not satisfied with the measures of ethical idealism and misanthropy which I have been using. With respect to ethical ideology, I am interested in the development of an instrument that would better measure the extent to which one is willing to make ethical cost/benefit analysis.
