中年期宠物依恋与神经质和生活满意度的关系

Relation of pet attachment to neuroticism and life satisfaction in middle-aged owners

目的:考察宠物依恋与神经质、生活满意度的关系。方法:选取饲养宠物犬的中年人420名(年龄37~60岁;男210人),采用自编人口学变量问卷、宠物依恋量表(LAPS)、中文形容词大五人格量表简式版(BFFP-CAS-S)的神经质分量表、生活满意度量表(SWLS)进行调查。结果:LAPS得分与SWLS得分正相关(r=0.33,P<0.01),神经质得分与LAPS、SWLS得分负相关(r=-0.23、-0.40,均P<0.01)。回归分析结果显示,当神经质水平低时,高水平的宠物依恋显示更高水平的生活满意度(β=0.14,P<0.001);当神经质水平高时,宠物依恋与生活满意度的相关无统计学意义(β=0.03,P>0.05)。结论:中年人的宠物依恋与神经质和生活满意度有关。

Objective:To explore the relationship among pet attachment,neuroticism and life satisfaction.Methods:Totally 420 middle-aged owners(aged 37 to 60 years,210 males)were measured with a self-made questionnaire concerning demographic factors,the Lexington Attachment to Pets Scale(LAPS),neuroticism measurement of the Chinese Adjectives Scale of Big-Five Factor Personality Short Scale(BFFP-CAS-S)and the Satisfaction With Life Scale(SWLS).Results:The LAPS scores were positively correlated with the SWLS scores(r=0.33,P<0.01),and the neuroticism scores were negatively correlated with the scores of LAPS and SWLS(r=-0.23,-0.40,Ps<0.01).The result of regression analysis showed that when middle-aged owners had lower lev-el of neuroticism,the higher pet attachment predicted the higher life satisfaction(β=0.14,P<0.001).When mid-dle-aged owners had higher level of neuroticism,the predicting effect was not significant(β=0.03,P>0.05).Conclusion:Pet attachment may be related to neuroticism and life satisfaction.
