ACE thinks that some of HLL's early studies were not conducted as well as they could have been, and that there were problems in some of the write - ups of those studies.262 For example, HLL conducted five studies with the same participant pool, which might have caused the results of some of those studies to be influenced by earlier experimental manipulations.263 Some studies also did not include appropriate control groups, and many studies did not control for desirability bias.264 We think these early studies helped influence animal advocates to see research into
animal advocacy methods as possible and desirable, but that their utility is otherwise limited by some of their design flaws.
Fields like social psychology and sociology, social movement studies, human - animal studies, animal welfare science, and political science are increasingly studying
animal advocacy methods and the movement as a whole as a legitimate and worthwhile object for academic study and controlled experiment.
The studies listed are the ones staff and research interns have found most helpful or relevant in thinking about how to critically analyze
animal advocacy methods and organizations.
