  • People rated vegetarians more negatively when they thought vegetarians were more judgemental
  • In an experiment where people were randomly assigned to a condition in which they had to consider how much vegetarians would judge them morally, they later rated vegetarians more negatively

  • When participants were given the opportunity to negatively rate vegetarians they expressed more pro-vegetarian attitudes
