Lookit study roundup!!!
I am bummed to be missing #SRCD #SRCD2023, but I know there's at least a few groups presenting data collected on https://lookit.mit.edu/
Finding/citing you is how we keep going - so if you are presenting Lookit data at SRCD, please sound off here!
Enjoying a great session at #srcd2023 on the development of speciesism in childhood and adolescence.
Main takeaways:
Young children have poor knowledge about where animal-based foods come from.
Children express more moral concern about killing animals for food than adults do.
However, adolescents exhibited more speciesism & were more likely to say that eating meat was ok than adults.
Very interesting & important work. Relevant to #vegetarian lifestyles & #ClimateChange
