Beyond the campus context: Reducing stress among students and community members through virtual canine comfort modules
Research continues to demonstrate the stress-reducing benefits of in-person interactions with therapy dogs, especially among students engaged within educational contexts. However, less is known about the potential of virtual interactions with therapy dogs to reduce stress among post-secondary students and if such benefits might extend to members of the general community. Accordingly, the aim of this study was twofold. First, we explored how a vir…
A mixed-methods examination of an on-campus canine-assisted intervention by gender: Women, men, and gender-diverse individuals’ self-reports of stress-reduction and well-being
On-campus canine-assisted interventions (CAIs) provide opportunities for college students to interact with therapy dog-handler teams and are considered a low-cost and low-barrier way for students to reduce their stress and bolster their well-being. Across studies, we see participant samples comprised predominantly of women participants. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of a 20-min CAI on the well-being of women ( n = 80), men ( n =…
Publications Trends in Society & Animals from 2009–2019: A Bibliometric Analysis
This bibliometric analysis of Society & Animals ( SOAN ) publications from 2009–2019 generated a portrait of publishing trends including prevalent authors (i.e., Who?), institutions publishing HAI research (i.e., Where?), and salient themes of research showcased (i.e., What?). Pete Porter and Randy Malamud emerged as preeminent authors and collaborators. Researchers with prevalent citations included Pavol Prokop, Christoph Randler, and Randy Mala…
Virtual Canine Comfort: A Randomized Controlled Trial of the Effects of a Canine-Assisted Intervention Supporting Undergraduate Wellbeing
Being a university student is known to be a stressful experience, and researchers across studies have reported elevated stress and compromised mental health for university students when compared with findings from the general population. The unexpected disruption to their studies arising from COVID-19 and its corresponding social isolation added to the stress experienced by students. This study assessed the effects of a virtual canine-assisted in…
Shifting Preservice Teachers’ Views of Animal Welfare and Advocacy through a Human-Animal Relationships Course
This mixed-methods study explored how participation in an intensive course on human-animal relationships impacted preservice teachers’ views about human-animal welfare and advocacy and animal-focused curriculum. Participants were 25 undergraduate students (24 female; 1 male) following a teacher education pathway. Participants completed the Animal Rights Scale , and their insights on assigned readings were captured through weekly journal entries a…
Turning the Page for Spot: The Potential of Therapy Dogs to Support Reading Motivation Among Young Children
This study investigated whether dogs might facilitate a context conducive to reading for children when they are faced with a challenging reading passage. A within-subjects design was used to assess children's motivation to read in two conditions: with a therapy dog and without a therapy dog. Seventeen children (8 girls; 9 boys) in Grades 1 to 3 (aged 6–8 years) and their parents participated in this study. Results of a multivariate repeated-measu…
