“…Similarities between the findings of the current study and intraspecific emotion perception research suggest that the neural networks of emotion might be applied flexibly between interspecific and intraspecific contexts. In fact, it has recently been shown that children and adults who receive interspecific emotion recognition training not only improved their recognition of emotion in dogs, but also in humans [53].…”

Human Perception of Fear in Dogs Varies According to Experience with Dogs

To investigate the role of experience in humans’ perception of emotion using canine visual signals, we asked adults with various levels of dog experience to interpret the emotions of dogs displayed in videos. The video stimuli had been pre-categorized by an expert panel of dog behavior professionals as showing examples of happy or fearful dog behavior. In a sample of 2,163 participants, the level of dog experience strongly predicted identification of fearful, but not of happy, emotional examples. The probability of selecting the “fearful” category to describe fearful examples increased with experience and ranged from.30 among those who had never lived with a dog to greater than.70 among dog professionals. In contrast, the probability of selecting the “happy” category to describe happy emotional examples varied little by experience, ranging from.90 to.93. In addition, the number of physical features of the dog that participants reported using for emotional interpretations increased with experience, and in particular, more-experienced respondents were more likely to attend to the ears. Lastly, more-experienced respondents provided lower difficulty and higher accuracy self-ratings than less-experienced respondents when interpreting both happy and fearful emotional examples. The human perception of emotion in other humans has previously been shown to be sensitive to individual differences in social experience, and the results of the current study extend the notion of experience-dependent processes from the intraspecific to the interspecific domain.

“…Stetina et al (2009), also, reported that many but not all measures of social and emotional health in their sample of drug offenders improved in the experimental group. Stetina et al (2011) found significant improvements in the ability to recognize fear and anger emotions in a pre-post design, but findings for the other emotions were mixed. Moreover, Stetina et al (2011) used a control group that consisted of no intervention and an experimental group of AAT.…”

“…Stetina et al (2011) found significant improvements in the ability to recognize fear and anger emotions in a pre-post design, but findings for the other emotions were mixed. Moreover, Stetina et al (2011) used a control group that consisted of no intervention and an experimental group of AAT. Given that there was no other control for the multiple components of AAT, it is not known whether their positive findings are due to the animal or the novelty of the AAT situation or some other aspect that was not controlled or measured.…”

“…Die hier dargestellten Ergebnisse stimmen mit wissenschaftlichen Beobachtungen in Schulklassen überein, die zeigen, dass die Anwesenheit von Hunden das interaktives Verhalten der Schüler verbessert (46,47). Neuere Studien zeigen zudem, dass die intensive Beobachtung der Körpersprache von Hunden auch die Fähigkeit verbessert, menschliche Emotionen wahrzunehmen und zu interpretieren (48).…”

ZusammenfassungDie vorliegende Studie untersuchte, ob eine zusätzliche tiergestützte Therapie bei übergewichtigen Kindern, welche an einem erprobten multimodalen Interventionsprogramm teilnehmen, den Therapieerfolg positiv unterstützt. Es wurde der Frage nachgegangen, ob bei adipösen Kindern (n=15) Selbstvertrauen, Körperbewusstsein, Fitness und Teamfä-higkeit durch Anwesenheit eines Hundes während der Bewegungsintervention im Vergleich zu einer Kontrollgruppe (n=14) gestärkt werden können.Für die Interventionsgruppe konnte eine Abnahme des standardisierten BMIs unter Be-rücksichtigung der unterschiedlichen Ausgangslage während der über 6 Monate dauernden Intervention gezeigt werden. Auch für die sportmotorischen Variablen Ausdauer und Geschicklichkeit konnten positive Effekte tier-gestützter Therapie festgestellt werden. In der Fremdeinschätzung der Eltern fanden sich für die Interventionsgruppe signifikant bessere Werte in den Bereichen „dissoziales Verhalten”, „aggressives Verhalten” und „soziale Probleme”.Zusammenfassend zeigen die Ergebnisse, dass Tiergestützte Therapie zwar ein wirkungsvoller Therapiebaustein jedoch keine „einfache Therapiemethode” zur Reduktion von Übergewicht bei Kindern zu sein scheint. Tiergestützte Therapie bedarf einer sorgfältigen Planung hinsichtlich der beteiligten Akteure.
