这项研究实证检验了图腾化的理论：那些图腾化野生动物的人（即，他们不仅反对杀害野生动物，而且对那些支持杀害的人感到反感）和邻避症（非我后院综合症）--那些受野生动物负面影响的人会支持杀害野生动物，反对保护野生动物--作为关于杀害的争议的可能解释（例如，扑杀、狩猎、收获）。作为检验这些理论有效性的案例研究，在美国14所大学的学生中进行了一项关于他们对捕鲸和鲸鱼的态度的调查。与理论相一致的是，将鲸鱼图腾化的参与者不仅不赞成捕鲸，而且对捕鲸和捕鲸者也感到反感。此外，那些在渔业方面有更多熟人的人（因此更有可能受到鲸鱼保护的负面影响）不赞成保护鲸鱼而不是渔业。这些发现证实了图腾化理论和邻避理论的正确性。
This study empirically examined the theories of totemization: those who totemize wildlife (i.e., who not only oppose killing of wildlife, but also become antipathetic toward those who support the killing) and NIMBY (notin-my-backyard syndrome)--those who are negatively affected by wildlife would support killing of and oppose protection of the wildlife--as probable explanations for controversies over killing (e.g., culling, hunting, harvesting) of wildlife. As a case study to examine the validity of the theories, a survey was conducted among U.S. college students in 14 institutions on their attitudes about whaling and whales. Consistent with the theories, the participants who totemized whales not only disapproved of whaling, but also were antipathetic toward whaling and whalers. Further, those who had more acquaintances in fisheries (and thus were more likely to be negatively affected by the protection of whales) disapproved of protection of whales rather than of fisheries. These findings confirm the validity of the theories of totemization and NIMBY.
