Historically and traditional, the Pachakam is linked to the female person. And in the maintenance field, people or AnimalsThis concept has been strengthened as a parrot: they are sensitive, natural caregivers, which ‘understand the speech’. However, the human-fire binding violates the sex, and more studies show it. The last one, published in the magazine Animal welfareIt has proposed Look beyond the stereotypes Exploring how men develop and when they grow up on other creatures. The results? Direct coexistence with animals, especially with pets, makes a difference.
Investigations led by Georgia Anne Frampton and Jessica Lee Oliva are based on the model of 91 Australian men Is divided into three groups: Family or corporate animals, men who have no experience of workers and animals in agriculture.
For more pets
Starting from a hypothesis called study Pets as messengersIt suggests that Having an animal at home is a passionate entry in honor and consideration Toward other animals. In other words, take care of a DogOvarian Cateo Or any other animals daily make the message that animals feel a good treatment and life, suffering, and worthy.
The results look like Confirm this idea Men affiliated with family animals received higher marks at the level of animals (a tool for measuring the eager approaches to animals). Secondly, workers of cattle or agriculture sector, in the last place, are small or zero contact with animals. On average, the difference between the first and third group exceeded 25 points.
Jessica Lee Oliva, a professor of study and psychology at James Cook University in Douglas, AustraliaSummarize this as “the intermittents of animals are important” Emotional, Economic and Lifestyle InvestmentRelationships that encourage e -mail, as if they take care of an animal without waiting for financial compensation. ”
Direct communication or documentary: What is the highest influence?
Beyond numbers, the study also analyzed the individual experiences that affected the sensitivity of the animal. Of those who lived with pets, most referred to their daily influence as a major influence. On the other hand, agricultural workers have talked about their work experiences, and a small or experienced group refers to occasional contacts with the animals of others.
It suggests that It is not enough to view animals in documentaries Or know the principles of their behavior. Creating the change of appearance is really close link, direct contact and, after all, responsibility for care. “Our study reveals that it is different when the link includes Worry about your diet, health, emotional well -being And the quality of life, ”says one of the expert teachers in relationships between humans and animals.” This changes the way we see them … in my case, after living with my dog, she visited every animal I enjoyed. “
Animals and emotional self
The difference in the values between pets and work or consumption animals is attracted to the attention of researchers. Among participants dedicated to agriculture and livestock, the most common type of animal birds or fish at home. When they talked about dogs, they made it work tools: “I was surprised that no one outside of their workplace had a dog,” Jessica Leeliva said Psypost.org. “It suggests Not all dogs act as emotional ‘messengers’. It depends on how the connection is installed”.
The group also points out the potential event of cognitive contradiction: If the care of an animal refers to affection, but the animal is part of an economic process that includes its death or suffering, and it establishes a specific Emotional distance as a safety mechanism. It can also go to other creatures.
Who takes care of?
Although the study cannot prove a direct cause, that is, this does not confirm whether living with an animal increases the e -mail Or the elderly humans tend to introduce animals in their lifeIndicates a clear connection.
For those who work in education or spreading, these types of results can lead to creating strategies that focus on direct contact with animals, instead of appealing the cause or showing statistics Animal abuse. But this refers to a contradiction, as one of the researchers commented. “Being or living with a pet will increase the e -mail, but This indicates the control of your freedom“, Jessica recognizes Lielva.” That is why adoption or acquisition of an animal is a thoughtful and firm decision, allowing them to enrich their lives and determine the basic aspects of the daily. “
