Abstract

The present study explored personality differences between dog persons and cat persons. Participants (n=126) identified themselves as either a dog person, cat person, both or neither, and rated their own masculinity, femininity, independence, dominance and athleticism. Participants also read a description of a person who was labelled either dog person or cat person, and rated this person on these same personality characteristics. Results showed that females were more likely to label themselves cat persons than were males. Quality of past experience with dogs and cats was related to current ownership of dogs and cats. There were no personality differences between dog/cat owners versus non owners. However, there were personality differences between self-labelled dog versus cat persons. In addition, others attributed different personality characteristics to dog versus cat persons, often as a function of gender. The real versus perceived differences in personality were not the same.

爱狗和爱猫的人的性格特征

本研究探讨了爱狗的人和爱猫的人之间的性格差异。参与者(n=126)认为自己是爱狗的人，爱猫的人，两者都是或两者都不是，并对自己的男性气质，女性气质，独立性，统治力和运动能力进行评分。参与者还阅读了一个人的描述，这个人被标记为爱狗的人或爱猫的人，并根据这些相同的性格特征给这个人打分。结果显示，女性比男性更有可能将自己称为猫人。过去与狗和猫的经验的质量与目前的狗和猫的所有权有关。养狗/猫的人和不养狗/猫的人之间没有性格差异。然而，自认为是狗的人和自认为是猫的人之间存在性格差异。此外，其他人认为狗人和猫人的性格特征不同，这通常是性别的作用。真实的和感知到的性格差异是不一样的。

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.
