Exploring Work-Related Characteristics as Predictors of Norwegian Sheep Farmers' Affective Job Satisfaction
Farmers' satisfaction with their farm job can have far-reaching implications, as farmer and livestock wellbeing is likely to be intertwined. The aim of this study was to explore how job satisfaction of Norwegian sheep farmers is associated with other work-related traits, such as work motivation, perceived physical work environment, the performance of management routines, and the proportion of their income derived from farming. Overall, respondent…
Companion Animals in Thailand
The prevalence of companion animal caregiving was estimated, and demographic and psychosocial factors that predict sterilization behaviors in caregivers in Thailand were identified. Thai nationals ( n = 494) were recruited by random for the Culture and Human-Animal Interactions ( chai ) telephone survey. The results showed 74% of respondents had a cat and/or a dog (60% dogs, 23% cats); 22% of dogs and 19% of cats were sterilized. Logistic Regress…
Attitudes toward Responsible Pet Ownership Behaviors in Singaporean Cat Owners
Improving the welfare of companion cats requires that owners engage in responsible cat ownership practices. An important facet of understanding engagement in responsible cat ownership behaviors involves identifying the psychosocial processes that predict whether cat owners engage, or fail to engage, in responsible cat ownership behaviors. The aim of this study was to use the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) as a conceptual framework to understand…
What Do Current and Potential Australian Dog Owners Believe about Shelter Practices and Shelter Dogs
Many displaced dogs are unable to find new homes in developed countries, including Australia, each year, even though demand for dogs in general remains high. Understanding community attitudes towards shelter dogs and beliefs about common shelter practices, particularly behavioral assessments conducted by shelters, may help shed light on this issue. To investigate what current and potential dog owners think about shelter dogs, we used an internet-…
Beliefs Underlying Dog Owners' Health Care Behaviors
Various behaviors must be performed by owners to promote good health for their dogs. The aim in this study was to use the results of an online survey, completed by 1,016 self-selected, Australian dog owners, to investigate relationships between demographic factors, beliefs, dog–owner relationship variables, and the performance of health-promoting behaviors. Specific behaviors examined included the provision of annual vaccinations and health check…
Wandering Cats
Cat containment is a prominent cat management issue in Australia that provokes strong, and sometimes opposing, points of view. The aim of this study was to explore beliefs and attitudes towards containment in cat owner and non-owner groups, and to examine cat containment practices in owners. A random sample of 424 Victorian residents was recruited to complete the Community Attitudes towards Companion Animals Survey by telephone interview. The res…
Why Do Even Committed Dog Owners Fail to Comply with Some Responsible Ownership Practices
Various dog management behaviors must be performed by owners to promote both the welfare of dogs and community health, safety, and amenity. While most Australian dog owners are compliant with practices known to characterize responsible dog ownership, even responsible owners sometimes fail to act responsibly. In addition, there remains a minority of owners who, for unknown reasons, do not comply with any recommended practices. The aim of this stud…
An Evaluation of a Pet Ownership Education Program for School Children
Children aged 5 to 6 years are disproportionately susceptible to dog bite attacks relative to the adult population and there is a need to provide them with well-validated education programs to teach correct behavior when interacting with dogs. The main aim of this study was to assess the immediate and longer-term learning outcomes of the Responsible Pet Ownership Program (RPOP), delivered to young Australian children in their preparatory year of …
Behaviors and Attitudes towards Semi-Owned Cats
The intentional provision of food, medical treatment and shelter by humans for a cat that is not considered to be owned by the individual is defined as "semi-ownership." The aim of this study was to explore the prevalence of such behaviors and the attitudes held by individuals who engage in them. The sample, comprising 424 residents from rural and non-rural Victoria, Australia, were surveyed in relation to their ownership status, practices, and a…
Development of the Monash Dog Owner Relationship Scale (MDORS)
With increasing scientific and clinical attention being paid to the formation, nature and consequences of human–companion animal relationships, there is a need to develop scales with which to assess such relationships in a rigorous, empirically valid manner. Accordingly, the aim in this study was to develop a psychometrically sound, multi-dimensional questionnaire with which to assess human–companion dog relationships. A multi-step process involv…
Adopting shelter dogs
A number of studies have examined factors associated with the relinquishment of pet dogs to animal welfare shelters. In Australia, however, there has been little investigation of new owners' experiences when they subsequently adopt one of these dogs. To address this, telephone interviews were conducted with 62 persons who had recently adopted a shelter dog in Melbourne, Australia. Data relating to adopter demographics, factors influencing the sel…
Poor recall of eye-movement signals from Stage 2 compared to REM sleep
Child-Companion Animal Attachment Bonds in Single and Two-Parent Families
This study addressed the issue of whether children who potentially have reduced access to parental resources have a stronger attachment bond with a dog, compared with children who have greater access. The study compared children in single-parent families with those in two-parent families on level of attachment to their family dog. Parents judged children's level of attachment to dogs by completing the Companion Animal Bonding Scale. The children'…
Conditioned salivation and associated dreams from REM sleep
Although research has investigated the feasibility of establishing classically conditioned physiological responses during sleep, very few experimental studies have considered whether classically conditioned cognitive associations are possible. Since dreams have previously been described as a state of “hyper-association,” an experiment involving classical conditioning of the human salivary response and associated dream content was conducted. Durin…
Conditioned placebo responses
Following earlier animal research, we attempt to condition placebo effects in human subjects. Four groups of 8 voluntary subjects were told that the experimenters would test a powerful new analgesic cream over three sessions by assessing its ability to reduce experimentally induced pain. The analgesic cream was, in fact, a placebo. In the first session all subjects were tested with and without the cream to assess their placebo response. In the se…
