  • Review of proximal factors shaping public policy support

    Beschreibung: In recent years there has been growing interest in understanding public policy support, particularly around climate change mitigation and related topics. While many studies focus on distal predictors, such as individual differences in political orientation or values, some researcher has started to examine more proximal predictors of policy support. These are often called ?policy-specific beliefs? and concern concepts like perceived fairness, effectiveness, or intrusiveness of specific policies. The goal of this thesis is to 1) review this literature, 2) provide some organizing structure around concepts, and 3) critically evaluate the strength and implications of this research (e.g., to what extent those beliefs depend on distal predictors).

  • Predictors of meat consumption

    Beschreibung: Many individuals and institutions are trying to reduce meat consumption because animal agriculture has a negative influence on climate change, biodiversity, risk for pandemics and antibiotic resistance, and animal rights. A variety of factors might predict what kind of people are most likely to eat meat or other animal products, and what kind of people are likely to reduce or avoid eating animals. There is a growing literature describing psychological and demographic factors that are related to animal consumption. The goal of this thesis is to review the literature to identify psychological and demographic variables that are associated with meat consumption, and summarize the strength of these associations.

  • Why do Vegetarians Backslide?

    Beschreibung: Vegetarian and vegan diets are increasing in Switzerland and other Western countries. People adopt these diets for various reasons, including those related to health, the environment, and animal rights. However, many vegetarians eventually go back to eating animals. The goal of this thesis is to do a literature review of studies on vegetarian backsliders to better understand the reasons that people do not sustain a vegetarian diet.
