Paws for Thought.
This study investigates whether interacting with a dog would have a positive effect on the mood and anxiety of college students. Students were assigned to watch videos of a dog or interact directly with a dog. Various measures were collected before and after their assigned conditions to assess their mood and anxiety levels and evaluate possible changes. Results indicated that participants in both conditions experienced a reduction in their anxiety and an improvement in mood over time, but those who interacted directly with a dog experienced a greater decline in anxiety and better mood scores.
College students have experienced higher rates of psychological distress than the general population, which supposedly increases significantly upon starting university and does not return to pre-university levels throughout their time at university. Therefore, it is very important to find ways to improve students' health and well-being. One way that can help is by interacting with animals. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine if interacting with a dog would have a positive effect on the mood and anxiety of college students.
It is hoped that this study will help inform future best practices in designing student dog interventions, which in turn will facilitate better psychological well-being for college students.
