Abstract

Background: Food decisions and dietary preferences are affected by a complex set of different cultural or regional factors, but personality traits seem to play an important role too. Previous research suggested that the food preferences related to veganism, vegetarianism, or carnism can be predicted by the Big Five model of personality and reflected in the attitudes towards animals.

Participants and procedure: The present study examined personality traits and attitudes towards animals of 190 (M = 24.90, SD = 7.18) Slovak participants, of whom 57 were vegans, 56 vegetarians, and 77 carnists. To measure Big Five personality traits, the Big Five Inventory-2 (BFI-2) was used. Attitudes towards animals were measured by the short 10-item version of the Animal Attitude Scale (AAS-10).

Results: Vegans and vegetarians scored significantly higher than carnists in open-mindedness and attitude towards animals; there was no difference between scores of vegans and vegetarians. No relationship between the diet groups and demographic variables (gender, education, and age) was identified. From personality traits and sociodemo-graphic variables, only open-mindedness was a significant predictor of attitudes towards animals.

Conclusions: Vegans and vegetarians differ from carnists primarily in one trait: open-mindedness. Vegans and vegetarians also differ from carnists by holding more positive attitudes towards animals.

纯素食者、素食者和食肉者的性格特征和对待动物的态度有何不同

背景:饮食决定和饮食偏好受到一系列复杂的不同文化或地区因素的影响，但个性特征似乎也起着重要作用。先前的研究表明，与素食主义、素食主义或肉食主义相关的食物偏好可以通过大五人格模型来预测，并反映在对动物的态度上。参与者和程序:本研究调查了190名斯洛伐克参与者(M = 24.90, SD = 7.18)的性格特征和对动物的态度，其中57人是纯素食者，56人是素食者，77人是食肉者。采用大五人格量表(BFI-2)测量大五人格特征。对动物的态度采用10项动物态度量表(AAS-10)进行测量。结果:纯素食者和素食者对动物的开放态度和态度得分显著高于食肉者;严格素食者和素食者的分数没有差别。饮食组与人口统计学变量(性别、教育程度和年龄)之间没有关系。从性格特征和社会人口学变量来看，只有思想开放是对动物态度的重要预测因素。结论:纯素食者和素食者与食肉者的主要区别在于一个特点:思想开放。纯素食主义者和素食主义者也不同于肉食主义者，他们对动物持更积极的态度。

期刊介绍： Autonomous Robots reports on the theory and applications of robotic systems capable of some degree of self-sufficiency. It features papers that include performance data on actual robots in the real world. Coverage includes: control of autonomous robots · real-time vision · autonomous wheeled and tracked vehicles · legged vehicles · computational architectures for autonomous systems · distributed architectures for learning, control and adaptation · studies of autonomous robot systems · sensor fusion · theory of autonomous systems · terrain mapping and recognition · self-calibration and self-repair for robots · self-reproducing intelligent structures · genetic algorithms as models for robot development. The focus is on the ability to move and be self-sufficient, not on whether the system is an imitation of biology. Of course, biological models for robotic systems are of major interest to the journal since living systems are prototypes for autonomous behavior.
