This article presents data from three experiments in which we triggered and measured cognitive dissonance in meat-eaters. Cognitive dissonance is a well-established concept in the social psychology literature; however, empirical measures are scarce. In all datasets, we used textual information and/or images related to meat consumption as means to trigger cognitive dissonance. Cognitive dissonance data was collected in Study 1 with a Likert scale, whereas Study 2 and 3 used a Semantic Bipolar scale. Each experiment was programmed with Qualtrics and consisted of four conditions. Data was collected online; Study 1 utilized social media to recruit participants while Study 2 and 3 were hosted on Prolific. All datasets contain items on participants' socio-demographic background, liking of different food products, cognitive dissonance, and a measure of meat avoidance. The data can be used to analyze the effect of information provision on cognitive dissonance and meat avoidance. Moreover, the relationship between socio-demographic variables and cognitive dissonance, as well as other exploratory purposes regarding meat avoidance can be explored. Furthermore, researchers can use the data to investigate differences between Likert scales and Semantic Bipolar scales. This data is related to the paper [1].
本文展示了三项实验的数据，在这些实验中我们引发并测量了肉食者的认知失调。认知失调是社会心理学文献中一个已确立的概念；然而，实证测量却很稀少。在所有数据集中，我们使用与肉类消费相关的文本信息和/或图像作为引发认知失调的手段。在研究1中，我们用李克特量表收集认知失调数据，而研究2和3则使用语义双极量表。每个实验都用Qualtrics软件进行编程，并且包含四个条件。数据通过在线方式收集；研究1利用社交媒体招募参与者，而研究2和3则在Prolific平台上进行。所有数据集都包含有关参与者社会人口背景、对不同食品的喜好、认知失调以及肉类回避程度的项目。这些数据可用于分析信息提供对认知失调和肉类回避的影响。此外，还可以探索社会人口变量与认知失调之间的关系，以及关于肉类回避的其他探索性目的。此外，研究人员可以利用这些数据来研究李克特量表和语义双极量表之间的差异。这些数据与论文[1]相关。
