  • psychology students beliefs about Animals and Animal Experimentation
    Personality and Individual Differences, 1993
    Co-Authors: Adrian Furnham, Cecilia Heyes
    Abstract:

    Abstract This study set out to ascertain the beliefs and knowledge about Animals and Animal Experimentation of over 200 students all applying to read psychology at University. The subjects completed a modified and extended version of the Furnham and Pinder (1990, The Psychologists, 10, 444–448) attitude to Animals scale. They also indicated their knowledge about the amount and type of Experimentation done in Great Britain. Finally they indicated what they believed that six groups of Animals (rodents, cats, primates, insects, birds and dogs) were capable of, in terms of thought (e.g. ‘what another Animal is thinking’; ‘what happened to them yesterday’) emotion (e.g. ‘happiness’; ‘sadness’; ‘joy’) and behaviour (e.g. ‘unselfishly’; ‘dishonourably’). The results were similar to those reported by Furnham and Pinder (1990) but subjects' knowledge of Experimentation was poor.

  • alternatives to Animal Experimentation developing in vitro methods and changing legislation
    Trends in Pharmacological Sciences, 1990
    Co-Authors: Gerhard Zbinden
    Abstract:

    Despite recent changes in legislation in several countries and general reduction in the use of Animals in biomedical research, the impatience of antivivisectionists to see reductions in Animal Experimentation shows no signs of abating. Gerhard Zbinden analyses the reasons for this continuing dissatisfaction, arguing that real progress has been made in biomedical research, but that the complexities of developing internationally recognized regulations constitute a barrier to rapid change in product safety testing methods.

  • public perceptions of Animal Experimentation across europe
    Public Understanding of Science, 2013
    Co-Authors: Fabienne Crettaz Von Roten
    Abstract:

    The goal of this article is to map out public perceptions of Animal Experimentation in 28 European countries. Postulating cross-cultural differences, this study mixes country-level variables (from the Eurostat database) and individual-level variables (from Eurobarometer Science and Technology 2010). It is shown that Experimentation on Animals such as mice is generally accepted in European countries, but perceptions are divided on dogs and monkeys. Between 2005 and 2010, we observe globally a change of approval on dogs and monkeys, with a significant decrease in nine countries. Multilevel analysis results show differences at country level (related to a post-industrialism model) and at individual level (related to gender, age, education, proximity and perceptions of science and the environment). These results may have consequences for public perceptions of science and we call for more cross-cultural research on press coverage of Animal research and on the level of public engagement of scientists doing anima...

  • mapping perceptions of Animal Experimentation trend and explanatory factors
    Social Science Quarterly, 2008
    Co-Authors: Fabienne Crettaz Von Roten
    Abstract:

    The goal of this article is to map out attitudes toward Animal Experimentation in Switzerland, more specifically, to document the current attitudes, analyze the change of attitudes over the last 10 years, and explain these attitudes.

  • Animal models and Animal Experimentation in the development of deep brain stimulation from a specific controversy to a multidimensional debate
    Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2019
    Co-Authors: Sonia Desmoulincanselier, Baptiste Moutaud
    Abstract:

    In this article, we explore a specific controversy about Animal Experimentation and Animal models in the recent history of deep brain stimulation (DBS), and we question its ramifications. DBS development intertwines clinical practice with fundamental research and stands at the crossroads of multiple legacies. We take up the various issues and controversies embedded in this rarely addressed dispute, from a standpoint that combines socio-anthropological and legal aspects. Our starting point is a debate on the role of Animal Experimentation in the development of DBS between Jarrod Bailey, a researcher promoting the abolition of Animal Experimentation, and Alim Louis Benabid, Marwan Hariz, and Mahlon DeLong, three key figures in the area of DBS and neuroscience. By clarifying the positions of the different protagonists and retracing the issues raised in these discussions, our objective is to show how this specific debate has extended from its initial space and how it provides an object of study with heuristic scope. We first present this partially polemic discussion about the history of DBS, and its link with a more general debate on the validity and use of Animal models and the need for Animal experiments. Then, we raise the issue of the relations and interactions between experiments on Animals and on humans in the logics of biomedical innovation. The third step is to situate the discussion within the wider framework of opposition towards Animal Experimentation and the promotion of Animal’ rights. Finally, combining these interweaved issues, possible implications emerge regarding the future of DBS. We show that behind these several controversies lie the question of translational research and the model of medicine upheld by DBS. We describe how the technology contributes to blurring the lines between research (fundamental, preclinical and clinical research) and care, as well as between humans and Animals as substrates and objects of knowledge. The dynamics of DBS future development might then become a point of convergence for neuroscientists and Animal rights defenders’ interests.
