Animal Welfare Attitudes (AWA) are defined as human attitudes towards the welfare of animals in different dimensions and settings. Demographic factors, such as age and gender are associated with AWA. The aim of this study was to assess gender differences among university students in a large convenience sample from twenty-two nations in AWA. A total of 7914 people participated in the study (5155 women, 2711 men, 48 diverse). Participants completed a questionnaire that collected demographic data, typical diet and responses to the Composite Respect for Animals Scale Short version (CRAS-S). In addition, we used a measure of gender empowerment from the Human Development Report. The largest variance in AWA was explained by diet, followed by country and gender. In terms of diet, 6385 participants reported to be omnivores, 296 as pescatarian, 637 ate a vegetarian diet and 434 were vegans ( = 162 without answer). Diet was related with CRAS-S scores; people with a vegan diet scored higher in AWA than omnivores. Women scored significantly higher on AWA than men. Furthermore, gender differences in AWA increased as gender inequality decreased.
动物福利态度（AWA）被定义为人类在不同维度和环境下对动物福利的态度。年龄和性别等人口统计学因素与动物福利态度相关。本研究的目的是评估来自22个国家的大型便利样本中的大学生在动物福利态度方面的性别差异。共有7914人参与了这项研究（5155名女性、2711名男性、48名其他）。参与者完成了一份问卷，该问卷收集了人口统计学数据、典型饮食以及对动物综合尊重量表简版（CRAS-S）的回答。此外，我们使用了《人类发展报告》中的性别赋权指标。动物福利态度的最大差异由饮食解释，其次是国家和性别。在饮食方面，6385名参与者报告为杂食者，296名为鱼素者，637人食用素食，434人为纯素食者（162人未作答）。饮食与CRAS-S得分相关；纯素食者在动物福利态度方面的得分高于杂食者。女性在动物福利态度方面的得分显著高于男性。此外，随着性别不平等的减少，动物福利态度方面的性别差异增大。
