In Study 1, primary school children (N = 359) rated the perceived attractiveness of six animals and judged how severe it is to hurt them, as compared to moral transgressions, social-conventional transgressions, and personal choices. Hurting attractive animals was perceived as severe as hurting another child, while hurting unattractive animals was evaluated as less serious than social-conventional transgressions. In Study 2, we experimentally tested whether the attractiveness of animals rated as unattractive in Study 1 could be influenced by an environmental education intervention. After the intervention, children in the experimental group (N = 21) rated unattractive animals as more attractive than before the intervention, and this led to judging harming these animals more severely than before the intervention. No changes were found in the control group (N = 20). info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICIU/PGC2018-095502-B-I00 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/UZ/PIIDUZ-18-157 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/UZ/PIIDUZ-19-048 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc-nd http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ 5.7 2022 PSYCHOLOGY, MULTIDISCIPLINARY 17 / 147 = 0.116 2022 Q1 T1 ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES 29 / 128 = 0.227 2022 Q1 T1 1.979 2022 Environmental Science (miscellaneous) 2022 Q1 13.5 2022 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Rodríguez-Rey, Rocío Sorrel, Miguel A. 4009 740 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
