摘要

本研究以豚鼠为实验对象,探讨动物辅助活动(AAA)对小学生社会功能的影响。我们假设,与等候名单控制组(n = 64)相比,实验条件下的参与者(n = 64)在该计划后会表现出社会功能的改善。家长和老师使用社会技能评分系统(SSRS)来评估128名参与的儿童(年龄范围为4.8至12.7岁)在8周前后的社会技能和问题行为。教师们还对两个时间点的学术能力进行了打分。参与AAA项目的儿童在社会功能方面比对照组的同龄人有了显著的改善,这可以通过社交技能(教师SSRS)的提高和问题行为(家长和教师SSRS)的减少来定义。两组间学术能力无显著差异。在教师版本的SSRS上,AAA级的参与者表现出社交技能的显著提高和问题行为的显著减少。对照组的参与者在这些指标上没有明显的变化。这些发现表明,为了改善社会功能,在小学课堂上对豚鼠进行AAA项目可能是一个可行的补充。进一步的成分分析将是必要的,以确定动物是否是这种性质的AAA程序的有效成分。

Effects of Animal-Assisted Activities with Guinea Pigs in the Primary School Classroom.

This study investigated the effects of a classroom-based animal-assisted activities (AAA) program with guinea pigs on the social functioning of primary school children. We hypothesized that participants in the experimental condition (n = 64), compared with a waitlist control group (n = 64), would demonstrate improvements in social functioning following the program. Parents and teachers used the Social Skills Rating System (SSRS) to evaluate the social skills and problem behaviors of 128 participating children (age range = 4.8 to 12.7 years) before and after an 8-week period. Teachers also rated academic competence at both time points. Children who participated in the AAA program demonstrated significantly greater improvements in social functioning than their control group peers, as defined by greater increases in social skills (teacher SSRS) and decreases in problem behaviors (parent and teacher SSRS). There were no significant differences between the groups in academic competence. AAA participants demonstrated significant increases in social skills and decreases in problem behaviors from pre- to post-program on the teacher version of the SSRS. Control group participants did not show significant changes on these measures. These findings suggest that an AAA program with guinea pigs may be a feasible addition to the primary school classroom in order to improve social functioning. Further component analysis will be necessary to determine whether the animal is the active ingredient in AAA programs of this nature.

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.
