本研究采用质性研究方法，探讨为何人们对不同类型的非人类动物使用有不同的态度。17名参与者参加了半结构化访谈。本研究使用扎根理论分析访谈，并开发了一个由4个主要主题组成的模型：（a）“对动物的态度”，（B）“动物使用程序的知识”，（c）“选择的看法”和（d）“成本效益分析”。“研究结果表明，认知过程，被使用的动物物种的特征以及动物使用的类型都会影响对动物使用的态度。由于以前的研究集中在参与者变量，如年龄和性别，以解释对动物使用的态度的差异（Pinder，1990; Kellert & Berry，1981）和测量对动物使用的态度（而不是区分不同类型的使用）（Armstrong & Hutchins，1996），这些发现可以增加人们对动物使用的看法的知识。本文讨论了如何证明和维持这种观点。
This study uses qualitative methodology to examine why people have different attitudes toward different types of nonhuman animal use. Seventeen participants took part in a semi-structured interview. The study used Grounded Theory to analyze the interviews and developed a model that consists of 4 major themes: (a) "attitudes toward animals," (b) "knowledge of animal use procedures," (c) "perceptions of choice," and (d) "cost-benefit analysis." The findings illustrate that cognitive processing, characteristics of the species of animal being used, and the type of animal use can all influence attitudes toward animal use. Because previous research has focused on participant variables such as age and gender to explain variance in attitudes toward animal use (Furnham Pinder, 1990; Kellert & Berry, 1981) and measured attitudes toward animal use in general (rather than distinguishing between different types of use) (Armstrong & Hutchins, 1996), these findings can add to knowledge of people's views on animal use. This paper discusses how such views may be justified and maintained.
