Abstract

We present the results of our analysis of the sentiments of guardians in Spain following the death of a companion animal, as well as their potential use of cemeteries/crematoriums, based on a personal survey that was completed by 197 guardians. Factor analysis revealed the existence of three dimensions. The first focused on emotional reactions following a companion animal’s death. The second considered personal relationships that developed between guardians and their companion animals. Finally, the third focused on benefits or value offered by a companion animal. Four segments were obtained by cluster analysis. The largest segment had the strongest intention of using/reusing cemetery or cremation services (3.2 out of 5). It was also the only segment which placed value on emotional reactions upon a companion’s death. The results showed that a strong bond between guardians and companion animals was associated with a higher probability that burial or cremation services would be used.

在西班牙，失去伴侣动物后使用墓地/火葬场的情绪和反应

我们根据197名监护人完成的个人调查，介绍了西班牙监护人在伴侣动物死亡后的情绪分析结果，以及他们对墓地/火葬场的潜在使用情况。因子分析揭示了三个维度的存在。第一个研究重点是伴侣动物死亡后的情绪反应。第二个是关于监护人和他们的伴侣动物之间发展起来的个人关系。最后，第三个重点是伴侣动物提供的好处或价值。聚类分析得到4个片段。最大的一部分人有使用/重复使用墓地或火葬服务的强烈意愿(5分中有3.2分)。这也是唯一重视伴侣死亡时情绪反应的部分。结果表明，监护人和伴侣动物之间的紧密联系与使用埋葬或火葬服务的可能性更高有关。

期刊介绍： Society & Animals publishes studies that describe and analyze our experiences of non-human animals from the perspective of various disciplines within both the Social Sciences (e.g., psychology, sociology, anthropology, political science) and the Humanities (e.g., history, literary criticism). The journal specifically deals with subjects such as human-animal interactions in various settings (animal cruelty, the therapeutic uses of animals), the applied uses of animals (research, education, medicine and agriculture), the use of animals in popular culture (e.g. dog-fighting, circus, animal companion, animal research), attitudes toward animals as affected by different socializing agencies and strategies, representations of animals in literature, the history of the domestication of animals, the politics of animal welfare, and the constitution of the animal rights movement.
