People's diets can serve as a basis for social identity, and the papers in this special issue examine the social psychological implications of vegetarianism as a social identity. The papers run the gamut from examining how vegetarians are viewed by the omnivorous majority to examining interventions designed to reduce meat consumption. In this paper I provide background information to provide a context for understanding the articles. This information includes a discussion of definitions of vegetarianism, people's motives for adopting a vegetarian diet, and some of the individual differences other than diet that distinguish vegetarians and non-vegetarians.
人们的饮食可以作为社会身份认同的基础，本期特刊中的论文探讨了素食主义作为一种社会身份认同的社会心理影响。这些论文涵盖了从研究杂食多数群体如何看待素食者到研究旨在减少肉类消费的干预措施等诸多方面。在本文中，我提供背景信息以帮助理解这些文章。这些信息包括对素食主义定义的讨论、人们选择素食的动机，以及除饮食外区分素食者和非素食者的一些个体差异。
