摘要

由于在大多数阿拉伯国家缺乏关于人们对宠物(伴侣)动物态度的研究，并受到他们之前在巴勒斯坦和挪威对动物态度的研究的启发，研究人员进行了这项研究，以衡量阿曼大学生对宗教仪式的态度。共有217名阿曼苏丹卡布斯大学的学生回答了宠物态度量表(PAS)以及有关宗教仪式的问题。调查结果显示，阿曼学生对伴侣动物的态度不如巴勒斯坦学生积极。尽管阿曼学生普遍高度遵守宗教仪式，但研究显示，阿曼学生的宗教信仰与对动物的态度之间没有显著的相关性。本文还讨论了与使用自我报告问卷和调查态度与实际行为的可能性有关的一些困难。

Companion Animals and Religion: A Survey of Attitudes among Omani Students

Prompted by the scarcity of studies on the attitudes of people towards pet (companion) animals in most Arab countries and inspired by their previous research on the attitudes towards animals in Palestine and Norway, the researchers conducted this study to measure the attitudes of university students in Oman with reference to religious observance. A total of 217 students at Sultan Qaboos University in Oman responded to the Pet Attitude Scale (PAS) combined with questions regarding religious observance. The findings revealed somewhat less positive attitudes toward companion animals among the Omani students than the Palestinian students. Despite the general high degree of religious observance among Omani students, the study showed no significant correlation between religiosity and attitudes towards animals among Omani students. Some difficulties connected with the use of self-report questionnaires and the possibilities to investigate attitudes versus actual behavior are also discussed.

期刊介绍： Society & Animals publishes studies that describe and analyze our experiences of non-human animals from the perspective of various disciplines within both the Social Sciences (e.g., psychology, sociology, anthropology, political science) and the Humanities (e.g., history, literary criticism). The journal specifically deals with subjects such as human-animal interactions in various settings (animal cruelty, the therapeutic uses of animals), the applied uses of animals (research, education, medicine and agriculture), the use of animals in popular culture (e.g. dog-fighting, circus, animal companion, animal research), attitudes toward animals as affected by different socializing agencies and strategies, representations of animals in literature, the history of the domestication of animals, the politics of animal welfare, and the constitution of the animal rights movement.
