The Psychology of Vegetarianism: Considering the Roles of Identity, Gender, and Morality
Greater adoption of vegetarian eating patterns can improve public health and promote environmental sustainability. Understanding shifts toward vegetarianism, however, necessitates a deeper conceptualization of the social psychological phenomena surrounding this eating behavior. This symposium evaluates how identity, gender, and moral judgment shape, and are shaped by, vegetarian dieting.
