肉类消费是矛盾的，因为肉类给许多人带来快乐，但它也使动物受苦。这种所谓的肉食悖论会引起肉食者的不适，他们试图通过道德脱离等方式来减少不适。在目前的调查中，我们试图仔细审查这个过程并检查增加道德脱离接触的边界条件。我们假设，由于领域一般以行动为导向的状态，人们倾向于通过道德脱离来解决肉类悖论，即使不一致是在不同的领域引起的，而不是与食物相关的领域。进行了两个实验，在我们使用与肉类无关的领域中的不同威胁引起不一致之后，我们通过矛盾心理评估人们的道德脱离努力。支持我们的假设，在经历不一致后，人们在情感启动（实验 1）和鼠标追踪任务（实验 2）中对食物表现出的矛盾情绪减少。事实上，在诱导不一致后，植物性菜肴变得更加积极，肉类菜肴变得更加消极，表明人们掩饰了他们对肉类的认可。这提供了第一个收敛证据，即不一致引起的面向行动的状态可能会影响对肉类悖论的认知。

Dealing with the meat paradox: Threat leads to moral disengagement from meat consumption

Meat consumption is conflicted, because meat provides pleasure to many people, but it also causes animals to suffer. This so-called meat paradox elicits discomfort in meat-eaters and they try to reduce their discomfort, for example, by means of moral disengagement. In the present investigation, we tried to scrutinize this process and examine the boundary conditions that increase moral disengagement. We assumed that, due to a domain general action-oriented state, people tend to resolve the meat paradox via moral disengagement, even if inconsistency is elicited in a different, not food-related domain. Two experiments were conducted, in which we assessed people's moral disengagement efforts via ambivalence measures after we induced inconsistency using different threats in meat-unrelated domains. Supporting our assumptions, people showed reduced ambivalence towards food in affective priming (Experiment 1) and Mouse-Tracker tasks (Experiment 2) after experiencing inconsistency. In fact, plant-based dishes became more positive and meat dishes more negative after inconsistency was induced, indicating that people disguise their endorsement of meat. This provides first convergent evidence that an inconsistency induced action-oriented state may influence cognitions regarding the meat paradox.
