Psychic numbing is an interruption in psychoemotional processing which leads to diminished or blunted feeling. It is facilitated by and manifested in various ego defense mechanisms. Psychic numbing is thought to allow one to participate in violent practices without experiencing apparent cognitive-affective disturbance (Lifton, 1986).

520 $a Psychic numbing is an interruption in psychoemotional processing which leads to diminished or blunted feeling. It is facilitated by and manifested in various ego defense mechanisms. Psychic numbing is thought to allow one to participate in violent practices without experiencing apparent cognitive-affective disturbance (Lifton, 1986).
520 $a The ideology of meat production and consumption has been referred to as carnism (Joy, 2001). The collective and individual defenses observed in carnistic culture suggest that psychic numbing may play a role in meat consumption. This carnistic numbing may be expressed through the defense mechanisms of denial, avoidance, rationalization, justification, and dissociation. It may also involve such cognitive processes as objectification, dichotomization, and overgeneralization. Carnistic numbing might help to explain why an individual can consume meat without experiencing any overt distress.
520 $a This study used semi-structured interviews of 24 adults who consume meat or whose job entails the preparation of meat for sale to consumers, to determine whether they employ psychological defenses that contribute to carnistic numbing. Results were tabulated both quantitatively and qualitatively. The data were analyzed for specific inclusion of particular defense mechanisms consistent with the concept of carnistic numbing. Findings support the hypothesis that psychic numbing facilitates meat consumption. Implications of this study suggest that the field of psychology might benefit from reevaluating long-standing assumptions about the interaction of human and nonhuman animals and the common practice of meat consumption.
