  • A Longitudinal Test of the Belief that Companion Animal Ownership Can Help Reduce Loneliness

    Andrew Gilbey, June Mcnicholas et al.ARTICLEAnthrozoös2007Cited by: 20References: 21

    The widely held belief that companion animal ownership can help to reduce loneliness was tested using a quasi-experimental longitudinal design. Over a six-month period, 59 participants completed the UCLA-Loneliness Scale when they were seeking to acquire a companion animal. Participants' loneliness was measured again six-months after their initial recruitment, by which time 35 of the 59 participants had acquired a new companion animal. There was …

  • Companion animal separation and loneliness

    Andrew Gilbey, June Mcnicholas et al.ARTICLEAnthrozoös2006Cited by: 4References: 16

    It is widely believed that companion animal ownership can help to alleviate loneliness. This study explored whether companion animal separation leads to increased levels of loneliness. Among new students who had been at university for three weeks, no evidence was found that companion animal separation was associated with increased levels of loneliness, irrespective of the self-reported "closeness" of the owner–companion animal relationship before…

  • Dogs as catalysts for social interactions

    Open AccessJune Mcnicholas, Glyn M CollisARTICLEBritish Journal of Psychology2000Cited by: 70

    It is known that pet dogs can act as catalysts for human social interactions, and it has been suggested that this may enhance feelings of well-being. Two studies were carried out to establish the robustness of this effect. In Study 1, a highly trained dog was used to ensure that the dog itself did not solicit attention from passers-by, and data were collected across a range of normal daily activities in which a dog could be included, not confined…

  • Evaluative explanations in children's narratives of a video sequence without dialogue

    Open AccessJudy Eaton, Judy H Eaton et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Language1999

    Children's narratives consist of event clauses and contextualizing or ‘evaluative’ clauses. Bamberg & Damrad-Frye (1991) and Bamberg (1994) claimed that young children make limited use of evaluative clauses because they are less able to adopt a global perspective on the narrative. In an earlier study, Karmiloff-Smith (1985) demonstrated that the narratives of younger children have coherence only at a local level. However, Wellman & Bartsch (1988)…

  • Young children's understanding of the cognitive verb forget

    Open AccessRoslyn Hill, Glyn M Collis et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Language1997

    Investigation of children's understanding of the cognitive verb forget has shown that young children do not consider the role of prior knowledge when using this verb. Thus, someone may be said to have forgotten a fact despite not ever having previously known it. However, forget can also be used to refer to a failure to recall a prior intention. Three experiments examined the role of prior intention as well as prior knowledge in the comprehension …

  • Kappa, Measures of Marginal Symmetry and Intraclass Correlations

    Open AccessGlyn M CollisARTICLEEducational and Psychological…1985

    Some suggestions for measuring marginal symmetry in agreement matrices for categorical data are discussed, together with measures of item-by-item agreement conditional on marginal asymmetry. Connections with intraclass correlations for dichotomous data are noted

  • Verbal and nonverbal aspects of mothers' directives

    Open AccessH Rudolph Schaffer, Anne Hepburn et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Language1983

    Maternal directives to children aged 10 and 18 months were analysed with respect to both verbal and concomitant nonverbal aspects. The findings emphasize the multimodal nature of mothers' communicative messages and draw attention to the way in which language occurs in an action context and not as an isolated output. No indication was found for this age range that verbal devices come to replace nonverbal ones. At both ages most utterances were acc…
