The present research investigated how scientific authority increases the lethal use of animals in biomedical experimentation. In two behavioral studies (N = 151 and 150), participants were required to incrementally administer twelve doses of a toxic chemical to a 53 cm fish (in reality, a biomimetic robot) for research on animal learning. Consisten...

There is a large gender gap in support for animal experimentation, with men endorsing this practice more than women. However, little is known about the psychological factors associated with these differences. Drawing on a large and gender-balanced sample (nwomen = 551, nmen = 454), we conducted a cross-sectional survey to examine whether gender dif...

Need for uniqueness represents the need for people to feel different and distinguish themselves from others.

We propose here a French version of both scales. Throug...
