The aim of the study was to reveal the negative psychological aspects of using animals by scientists and to determine whether the emotional tensions and stress are associated with performing experiments on animals. All 150 participants of the study conduct experiments on animals in their work. Computer-assisted web interviewing, was used to collect the data. Correlation matrices for factorial analysis of main component loads and cluster analysis have been calculated as grouping methods revealed two different categories of researchers, which were mostly distinguished by acceptance and aversion to animal testing and animal welfare. The main findings demonstrated, that there is a group of respondents who feel discomfort when performing experiments on animals. Especially young people involved in animal testing, feel remorse, emotional tension and helplessness.
该研究的目的是揭示科学家使用动物所带来的负面心理影响，并确定情绪紧张和压力是否与在动物身上进行实验有关。该研究的所有150名参与者在工作中都对动物进行实验。数据收集采用计算机辅助网络访谈的方式。由于分组方法揭示了两类不同的研究人员，他们主要以对动物实验和动物福利的接受和厌恶程度来区分，因此计算了用于主成分负荷因子分析和聚类分析的相关矩阵。主要研究结果表明，有一组受访者在对动物进行实验时会感到不适。特别是参与动物实验的年轻人，会感到懊悔、情绪紧张和无助。
