Leading researchers from the Psychology of Human Animal Intergroup Relations (PHAIR) Society join us to explore the science behind effective animal advocacy. Social psychologists Kristof Dhont and Jared Piazza share evidence-based insights about why people resist changing their behavior toward animals despite claiming to care about them and what this means for vegan advocacy and animal rights activism.

This episode explores:

  • Understanding cognitive dissonance and the “meat paradox” – key psychological barriers to veganism
  • Research-backed strategies for effective animal rights advocacy and behavior change
  • How social identity, masculinity, and food familiarity impact plant-based eating
  • Science-based approaches to reducing animal product consumption and promoting veganism
