A smaller majority (over 60%) thinks research with confined, laboratory animals is appropriate. A third or less think that research involving pain or death is worthwhile. Undergraduate psychology students are highly similar to their professors. Among the general public, there is a high level of support for research involving some animals (i.e., rats) but not for others (i.e., dogs).
