Abstract

Abstract Various studies have suggested a range of different factors associated with children’s attitudes toward animals; however, in Chile, it is an area that has not been studied. The current study administered the Intermediate Attitude Scale ( IAS , which measures attitudes toward the humane treatment of animals) to 286 children in third and fourth grade and analyzed its association with the following variables: type of school, grade, gender, current pet ownership, the recognition accuracy of dog facial expressions, and human-directed empathy. The association between the IAS and potential factors was measured through linear mixed models. Children with higher human-directed empathy scores, fourth-grade children, and children who were more accurate in recognizing the happiness emotion on the dog’s face were associated with more positive attitudes toward the humane treatment of animals. These findings contribute to the growing literature regarding the importance of positive attitudes toward animals and their connection to human-directed empathy.

儿童对待动物的人道态度的相关因素
各种各样的研究表明,一系列不同的因素与儿童对动物的态度有关;然而,在智利,这是一个尚未研究的领域。本研究对286名三年级和四年级儿童进行了中间态度量表(IAS),该量表测量了对动物人道对待的态度,并分析了其与以下变量的关系:学校类型、年级、性别、当前宠物所有者、对狗面部表情的识别准确性和以人为本的同理心。通过线性混合模型测量IAS与潜在因素之间的关联。人类导向的同理心得分较高的儿童、四年级儿童以及更准确地识别出狗脸上的幸福情绪的儿童,对人道对待动物的态度更积极。这些发现有助于越来越多的文献关于对动物的积极态度的重要性以及它们与人类导向的同理心的联系。

期刊介绍: Society & Animals publishes studies that describe and analyze our experiences of non-human animals from the perspective of various disciplines within both the Social Sciences (e.g., psychology, sociology, anthropology, political science) and the Humanities (e.g., history, literary criticism). The journal specifically deals with subjects such as human-animal interactions in various settings (animal cruelty, the therapeutic uses of animals), the applied uses of animals (research, education, medicine and agriculture), the use of animals in popular culture (e.g. dog-fighting, circus, animal companion, animal research), attitudes toward animals as affected by different socializing agencies and strategies, representations of animals in literature, the history of the domestication of animals, the politics of animal welfare, and the constitution of the animal rights movement.
