The psychology of speciesism<\/strong><\/p>\n How much moral concern do we have for different animals? And to what extend does their sentience, cognitive capacity and likability explain their respecitve places on the circle of moral concern<\/em>? This study explores people’s evaluations of moral standing of a large range of animal species, and the cognitive and affective determinants that contribute to this evaluation.<\/p>\n Collaborators: Jacy Reese Anthis<\/a>, Dr. Matti Wilks<\/a>, Dr. Mariska Kret<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Merriweather Light||||||||” header_text_align=”left” header_2_text_align=”left” text_orientation_tablet=”left” text_orientation_phone=”left” text_orientation_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Upgrading ethology in the animal turn<\/strong><\/p>\n I developed a new cross-disciplinary method for studying other animals (i.e. their behaviour, culture and subjective experiences), that takes them seriously, as nonhuman persons, agents and subjects of a situated life. The project’s working title is\u00a0animal ethnography<\/em>, as it applies ethnographic techniques including (but not limited to) participant observation, thick description and video. The approach embraces the collection and publication of qualitative data, to compliment, enrich and deepen existing quantitative studies, with the aim to promote a high level of scientific rigour while facilitating a holistic understanding of animal lives, societies, behaviours and minds.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider disabled_on=”on|on|off” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FFFFFF” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_5,2_5″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][dipl_double_color_heading heading_main_part=”Publications” heading_post_part=”_” display_in_stack=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_heading_settings_text_align=”left” post_header_text_color=”gcid-ee033ed2-5511-4f53-b3f7-5d42689e0cbf” post_header_font_size=”63px” post_header_line_height=”0em” custom_padding=”||||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”|||0px|false|false” custom_padding_phone=”” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” global_heading_settings_text_align_tablet=”center” global_heading_settings_text_align_phone=”” global_heading_settings_text_align_last_edited=”on|desktop” border_color_bottom=”#FFFFFF” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-f92bc16f-1394-45a1-915e-aa843d3d1b3e%22:%91%93,%22gcid-ee033ed2-5511-4f53-b3f7-5d42689e0cbf%22:%91%22post_header_text_color%22%93}”][\/dipl_double_color_heading][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Merriweather Light||||||||” text_font_size=”15px” hover_enabled=”0″ text_orientation_tablet=”left” text_orientation_phone=”” text_orientation_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Straffon, L.
