Abstract

Canus lupus familiais (domestic dogs) tend to elicit from (the sign stimulus of) a friendly greeting, improved effectiveness of behaviour, an (observable) innate, likely hormonal, (possibly oxytocin) mediated response (a Mebir). Breakthroughs in the natural and behavioural sciences, political ideology, and education come from evidence for {1} the Mebir, {2} the theorem, humans are loving, non-competitive, and non-aggressive (in part from two new theories of evolution), and {3} the Mebir providing social species with cultural and evolutionary freedom (e.g. the social brain hypothesis is substantiated). Other social species (including humans and songbirds), and possibly “non-social” species (e.g., including domestic cats) likely undergo a Mebir. Social species more frequently undergo social interactions suggesting they more frequently undergo the Mebir, and therefore have greater cultural and evolutionary freedom. Two hypotheses were tested and proven invalid. Friendly greetings do not make dogs more effective in behaviour (nor do they invoke innate hunting behaviours as a displaced innate response (that in wolves improve fitness)) (N = 50), and do not make dogs walk faster (N = 29). Data are inclusive of various dog breeds, mixed breeds, both sexes, and all ages from chance encounters with dogs being walked on a sidewalk in a naturalistic setting. Three synchronous greetings were used to elicit the Mebir in dogs, eye contact, friendly verbal greetings, and handwaves. Behavioural responses were commonly exaggerated but weak for certain individuals. Responses included heightened curiosity (about objects and the environment), courageous exploration, creative and playful behaviour, assertiveness (e.g., in pulling on the leash), “pronounced social affiliation seeking” with dogs, pedestrians, and the dog’s owner, heightened aggressiveness (when territorial), and perhaps heightened concentration. Past research indicates that dog learning is improved from social interactions with humans.
友好的问候可以提高狗的行为效率
家庭红斑狼疮犬(家养狗)倾向于从友好的问候(信号刺激)中获得改善的行为效果,一种(可观察到的)先天的,可能是荷尔蒙(可能是催产素)介导的反应(Mebir)。自然科学和行为科学、政治意识形态和教育的突破来自于{1}的证据,{2}的定理,人类是有爱的、非竞争的、非侵略性的(部分来自两种新的进化理论),{3}的证据为社会物种提供了文化和进化的自由(例如,社会大脑假说得到证实)。其他群居物种(包括人类和鸣禽),以及可能的“非群居”物种(例如,包括家猫)可能会经历Mebir。社会性物种更频繁地进行社会互动,这表明它们更频繁地经历Mebir,因此具有更大的文化和进化自由。两个假设被检验并被证明是无效的。友好的问候不会使狗的行为更有效(它们也不会将先天的狩猎行为作为替代的先天反应(狼可以提高适应性))(N = 50),也不会使狗走得更快(N = 29)。数据包括各种狗品种,混合品种,两性和所有年龄的狗在自然环境中偶然遇到在人行道上散步的狗。三种同步的问候语被用来引出狗的Mebir,眼神交流,友好的口头问候和挥手。行为反应通常被夸大,但对某些人来说很弱。反应包括增强好奇心(对物体和环境),勇敢的探索,创造性和好玩的行为,自信(例如,拉皮带),与狗,行人和狗的主人“明显的社会关系寻求”,增强攻击性(当领土),可能还有增强的注意力集中。过去的研究表明,狗的学习能力可以从与人类的社会互动中得到提高。
