Abstract

ABSTRACTPet presence (ownership) and attachment interview items were appended to a statewide telephone survey of more than 1,800 adults to obtain a demographic profile of pet presence and attachment in a Midwestern state in the United States. Pet presence in the adults' households increased from 54% for the 18–25 year-olds to 71% for the 36–45 year-olds and declined to 37% for those more than 65 years old. Pet presence was associated with larger families, rural residences, family income, and marital status. In contrast, companion animal bonding scores were higher for adults in smaller families, urban residents, divorced adults, and those who mentioned a dog first when asked about their pets.

宠物存在和依恋的人口统计数据

摘要本研究对美国中西部某州的1800多名成年人进行了电话调查，以了解宠物的存在和依恋情况。成年人家庭中有宠物的比例从18-25岁人群的54%上升到36-45岁人群的71%，而65岁以上人群的比例则下降到37%。宠物的存在与大家庭、农村住宅、家庭收入和婚姻状况有关。相比之下，小家庭的成年人、城市居民、离婚的成年人以及在被问及宠物时首先提到狗的人的伴侣动物关系得分更高。

期刊介绍： A vital forum for academic dialogue on human-animal relations, Anthrozoös is a quarterly, peer-reviewed journal that has enjoyed a distinguished history as a pioneer in the field since its launch in 1987. The key premise of Anthrozoös is to address the characteristics and consequences of interactions and relationships between people and non-human animals across areas as varied as anthropology, ethology, medicine, psychology, veterinary medicine and zoology. Articles therefore cover the full range of human–animal relations, from their treatment in the arts and humanities, through to behavioral, biological, social and health sciences.
