在支持各种健康影响的研究中,越来越多地使用动物辅助干预措施。这项研究比较了狗在各种活动中的心理生理和情绪反应,以了解活动类型的影响。这项研究包括30名健康成年人(平均年龄:27.9±8.4岁)。参与者与狗进行了八种不同的活动,每次3分钟。这些活动包括会议,玩耍,喂养,按摩,梳理,摄影,拥抱,和走路。脑电波在前额叶,额叶,顶叶,活动期间测量枕叶。在每次活动后,通过情绪状态简介记录他们对情绪的主观评估,语义差分法,和应力数字评级量表。阿尔法(相对,相对较慢,相对快速)功率谱表明,与狗玩耍和walking时,大脑的放松和静息状态显着增加。贝塔(相对,相对较低,和相对中)功率谱在狗按摩期间显着增加,梳理,和玩耍活动,表明浓度提高,没有应力。值得注意的是,与狗一起玩耍对放松和注意力都有积极的影响。“情绪状态概况”结果显示,进食等活动,按摩,拥抱狗降低了总的情绪障碍评分,这表明对参与者的情绪有积极影响。语义差分法显示,参与者与狗散步时感到舒适和自然,按摩时感到放松。参与者在所有活动中表现出明显较低的压力情绪。这项研究表明,特定的狗活动可以激活更强的放松,情绪稳定,注意,浓度,和创造力通过促进大脑活动的增加。此外,与狗的互动可以减少压力并引起积极的情绪反应。这些结果提供了构成AAI计划组成基础的数据,并且可能适用于确定特定应用的最有效活动的参考。
Animal-assisted interventions are being increasingly used in studies that support various health effects. This
study compared the psychophysiological and emotional responses during diverse activities with a dog to understand the impact of activity type. This
study included 30 healthy adults (average age: 27.9 ± 8.4 years). Participants performed eight different activities with a dog for 3 minutes each. These activities included meeting, playing, feeding, massaging, grooming, photographing, hugging, and walking. Brain waves in the prefrontal, frontal, parietal, and occipital lobes were measured during the activities. Subjective evaluation of their emotions was recorded after each activity via the Profile of Mood States, Semantic Differential Method, and Stress Numeric Rating Scale. The alpha (relative, relative slow, relative fast) power spectra indicated that the brain\'s relaxation and resting state significantly increased when playing with and walking a dog. The beta (relative, relative low, and relative mid) power spectra significantly increased during dog massage, grooming, and playing activities, indicating improved concentration without stress. Notably, playing with a dog positively affected both relaxation and concentration. The Profile of Mood States outcome showed that activities such as feeding, massaging, and hugging the dog decreased the total mood disorder score, which indicated a positive effect on participants\' moods. The Semantic Differential Method revealed that participants felt comfortable and natural while walking with a dog and relaxed when massaging it. Participants showed significantly lower stress moods in all the activities. This
study demonstrated that specific dog activities could activate stronger relaxation, emotional stability, attention, concentration, and creativity by facilitating increased brain activity. In addition, interactions with dogs could decrease stress and induce positive emotional responses. These results provide data that forms the basis for the composition of the AAI program and may be applicable as a reference to determine the most effective activities for specific applications.
