摘要

除了关于养宠物对心理健康有益的证据不一致之外,关于养猫的数据尤其缺乏。这一领域的研究往往没有考虑到可能影响主人幸福的特定猫-人关系或活动的影响。这项研究旨在通过调查主人认为与养猫有关的活动对他们的幸福感产生的影响,来识别和解决这一差距。对20名猫主人(18至74岁)进行了远程访谈,并对他们的音频记录进行了主题分析。猫主人报告了67项活动,导致他们的快乐、幸福或生活满意度发生变化。据报道,大多数活动都能改善幸福感,例如,“照顾猫”增加了幸福感,增强了主人的生活目标。然而,一些活动主要与负面结果相关,如看兽医和猫的行为问题。本研究提出了一个可操作定义的框架,为人猫互动和人类福祉领域的进一步研究奠定了基础。它强调了关注与猫的所有权相关的具体活动的重要性,而不是仅仅评估“所有权”本身,就好像它是一种同质现象。

Cat-human related activities associated with human well-being
Besides inconsistent evidence relating to the mental health benefits of pet ownership, there is a specific lack of data in relation to cat ownership. Research in this field frequently fails to consider the effect of specific cat-human relationships or activities that might impact owner well-being. This study aimed to identify and address this gap by examining the activities associated with owning a cat that were perceived by owners to impact on their well-being. Twenty cat owners (18 to 74 years old) were interviewed remotely, and their audio transcripts thematically analysed. 67 activities were reported by cat owners to cause changes in their hedonic or eudaimonic well-being or life satisfaction. Most activities were reported to improve well-being, for example, “providing for the cat” increased feelings of enjoyment and enhanced owner’s reported purpose in life. However, some activities were predominantly associated with negative outcomes, such as veterinary visits and cat behaviour problems. This study presents an operationally-defined framework that lays the groundwork for further research in the field of human-cat interaction and human well-being. It highlights the importance of focusing on specific activities associated with cat ownership, rather than just assessing “ownership” per se, as if it is a homogenous phenomenon.
