Laboratory animal welfare and human attitudes: A cross-sectional survey on heterospecific play or “rat tickling”
Fig 4
Laboratory animal personnel (N = 656) self-reported intention to provide and beliefs about rat tickling (M ± SD). All scales were developed from Theory of Planned Behavior protocols including beliefs about the consequences (behavioral attitudes), social and professional pressures (subjective norms), and control over (perceived behavioral control) providing rat tickling (a. direct, b. indirect).
