A new study reveals that vegetarians and vegans have a stronger appetite for power than meat-eaters, challenging stereotypes that depict them as gentle and peace-loving individuals. The research, led by Dr. John Nezlek, indicates that while vegetarians are predominantly women, they align more with traditionally masculine values focusing on personal success rather than the nurturing qualities typically associated with them. The study surveyed nearly 3,800 participants in the U.S. and Poland, uncovering insights that contrast with previous research on vegetarian personality traits.
When you think about a vegetarian, you think of someone who's warm, fuzzy, and "huggy". Well, in terms of the values that people espouse and what they aspire to, it's just not the case.
The misconception likely arises from the fact that the majority of vegetarians are women, yet they express traditionally masculine values like personal success.
