摘要

宠物经常被称赞能提高幸福感。然而，现有的证据并不能很好地支持这种说法。在四项研究中，我们系统地证明了与宠物接触可以促进心理健康。相关证据和实验证据都表明，无论是在日常生活中，通过想象，在与宠物有关的环境中，还是回忆相关经历中，与宠物接触都与较高的心理健康有关。重要的是，这种效应是由基本心理需求的满足介导的，包括自主性、能力和相关性。总之，我们的研究结果提供了证据，表明与宠物接触可能是通过满足基本心理需求来促进心理健康的一种简单易行的方法。

Satisfying your basic psychological need: pet contact promotes psychological well-being

Pets has often been praised for enhancing well-being. However, the available evidence does not support this claim well. Across four studies, we systematically demonstrated that pet contact promotes psychological well-being. Both correlational and experimental evidence showed that pet contact - whether in daily life, through imagination, in pet-related environment, or recalling related experiences - was associated with higher psychological well-being. Importantly, the effect was mediated by satisfying basic psychological needs, including autonomy, competence, and relatedness. Together, our findings provide evidence suggesting that pet contact may serve as a simple and accessible means of fostering psychological well-being by fulfilling fundamental psychological needs.

期刊介绍： Personality and Individual Differences is devoted to the publication of articles (experimental, theoretical, review) which aim to integrate as far as possible the major factors of personality with empirical paradigms from experimental, physiological, animal, clinical, educational, criminological or industrial psychology or to seek an explanation for the causes and major determinants of individual differences in concepts derived from these disciplines. The editors are concerned with both genetic and environmental causes, and they are particularly interested in possible interaction effects.
