Abstract
Although there is considerable public interest in animal welfare, little work has been
conducted on the relationship between animal attitudes and personality. The following
study attempts to determine if there is a relationship between personality traits and animal
welfare attitudes. The author examines the relationship between personality and attitudes
toward animal welfare by administering the Mini-International Personality Item Pool
Scale and the Animal Attitudes Scale to ninety-seven college students. The personality
factors were only weakly correlated with animal welfare attitudes and none of the factors
were statistically significant. The results of the following study will add to the increasing
amount of literature on personality and animal welfare attitudes and will be useful in both
the psychological and veterinary fields by providing information about human attitudes
toward animals.
