An Intervention to Influence the Consideration of Animals’ Worth and Animal Testing

This paper tests the influence of an intervention regarding speciesist and animal welfare attitudes, and behavioural intentions surrounding support of animal testing. As an intervention, some participants were shown a narrative video of a humanised bunny going through his day as a test animal and the aftermath of his workday. Data of the participants from the intervention condition were compared to the data from the control condition to determine the effects of the video on Speciesist Attitudes, Animal Welfare Attitudes and Behavioural Intentions, as well as possible influencing variables Misconceptions, Perspective-Taking, Feelings of Injustice, and Awareness of Animal Testing.
