Unsustainable Promises: Greenwashing In The Meat And Dairy Industries - Faunalytics

The meat and dairy industries often use a misleading tactic known as greenwashing to appear more eco-friendly than they are. An analysis of 33 leading companies shows that 98% of their environmental claims contained elements of greenwashing.

New #SPPS research finds that people tend to defend animal exploitation practices from their own culture more than similar practices abroad. These findings shed light on why culturally embedded but contested practices involving animals persist. Read more: https://ow.ly/et1G50Zv95K

Aujourd'hui, je vous propose un thread vulgarisant une revue de littérature récente (Dhont & Hodson, 2026) sur nos connaissances en psychologie du spécisme et de l’exploitation animale. Mais avant d’entrer dans le vif du sujet, reprenons quelques prérequis. 1/35 www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Abstract. Humans' moral views of animals vary in important ways across development. In many cases, adults display anthropocentric moral judgments that rela

Children love animals. How do they turn into meat-eating adults? We investigate how children trade off their moral values with the importance of food for human traditions. The great Alex Carter's first PhD paper now out in SPPS: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... #socialpsyc #devpsy #philsky

New from me: why plant-based defaults are the meat reduction intervention that excites me most!

Plant-Based Defaults are the Most Powerful Nudge We Have

Making vegan foods the default option consistently boosts sales without significant backlash. Here's the evidence why it's so effective.

Why do people oppose plant-based alternatives to meat? We find it has a lot to do with a symbolic association between meat & masculinity. And with sexism. Open access in SPPS with A. Salmen, V. Krings, & @kristofdhontphd.bsky.social #socialpsyc journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

One of the giants of social psychology was a serial sexual harasser. This new report reveals how Miles Hewstone touched, bullied, and sexual harassed numerous women during his 18 years at the University of Oxford. It's amazing how often bullying and sexual harassment go together in academia.

This—on my former university, department, and advisor—is harrowing but required reading for all social psychologists. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Oxford University Has Failed Women Over Harassment Concerns, Staff Say

The university has repeatedly been slow to act against male academics accused of sexual misconduct and inappropriate behavior, a Bloomberg investigation found.

In this commentary, I argue that student-based teaching evaluations are problematic bc ✳️ systematic biases (e.g., racism, sexism) ✳️ poor construct validity ✳️ undermine standards and learning We should evaluate teaching as seriously as we do research. Or don't do teaching evaluations.
