“…Vormbrock and Grossberg 1988;Watson and Weinstein 1993). Pet dogs can enhance not only the social and emotional development of young children (Filiatre et al 1986), but the dog as a companion animal influences the social behavior and the socialization process of the child. Dogs play an active role in the regulation of the pet-child interaction, and could promote the acquisition of a socially efficient behavioral repertoire in the child (Van Leeuwen 1981;Millot et al 1988).…”

Dog-Human Relationship Affects Problem Solving Behavior in the Dog

In this paper we present evidence that simple problem solving in the dog is strongly influenced by the relationship with the owner. Twenty-eight dog-owner pairs were observed in a novel situation and when performing a simple problem-solving task. Dogs were categorized according to their relationship with the owners ("companionship" or "working relationship"). In addition to the behavioral analysis of the dogs, the anthropomorphic attitudes of the owners were assessed by a questionnaire. Factor analysis showed two factors of correlated behavioral variables ("social dependence," "social play") of the dogs that referred to the dog-human relationship. Dogs in a companion relationship behaved socially dependently, showing a decreased performance in the problem solving task and were viewed more anthropomorphically by the owners. Results suggest that the dogs' decreased problem-solving performance is less dependent on their cognitive abilities; instead the strong, dependent relationship with the owner prevents them from completing the task successfully. On the basis of our results, we argue that the decreased problem solving ability in the domestic dog is not due to their domestication but their strong attachment to humans.

“…Children whose families have a dog are reported as more popular with peers and more empathetic (Guttman et al, 1983). They have higher self esteem (Filiatre et al, 1983), and generally consider life to be more fun and have a more positive outlook (Bergler Reinhold, 1995).…”

“…This is especially important for the elderly who are at risk of social isolation, and it has been found that many elderly people consider their dogs their only true friends (Petetti, 1990). The increased human contact from pet ownership and the possible social provisions from increased human contact may contribute to human well-being (Lane et al, 1998) and may also influence the development of communication skills in young children (Filiatre et al, 1983). Many dog owners consider that their dog's participation in public life is very important, facilitating new social interactions and helping to establish trust among new acquaintances (Robins et al, 1991).…”

In our current work we have designed and implemented an artificial pet with two embodiments. In both embodiments behavior is driven by needs that are used to maintain coherence and motivate user interaction. These needs are transferred between embodiments, with only one embodiment being active at a time. We performed an evaluation with 10-year old children participants. The retrieved data indicated that many children understood the concept of an artificial pet with two bodies, even without being given clues. Nevertheless, children did perceive differences between the two embodiments, which contributed for many stating that they interacted with two pets. Among other aspects, the physical version was perceived as less obedient due to problems concerning action recognition. Although caused by technical * c ACM, 2011.
