Abstract

The decision-making behavior of potential dog adopters remains a research gap that needs to be addressed to model the adoption decision-making process and understand how shelter and rescue strategies may increase adoption decisions. This study investigated decision considerations of potential adopters visiting eight Mid-Atlantic dog adoption sites. Surveys from potential adopters (N = 517) were examined for information about their search, adoption intent during visit, and the decision factor(s) under consideration. Findings showed dog behavior was the top decision factor that potential adopters considered (305; 58.9%), which was significantly greater than chance (χ² = 16.729, p < .01). Behavior was followed by dog's age (χ² = 17.456, p < .01), size (χ² = 50.137, p < .01), and lifestyle fit (χ² = 57.89, p < .01). Overall findings suggest potential adopters consider similar sets of decision factors when heading into adoption site visits, independent of age group, type of household, or prior experience having pets.

潜在狗领养者在参观收容所时考虑的决定因素。

潜在犬只领养者的决策行为仍然是一个研究空白，需要加以解决，以建立领养决策过程模型，并了解收容所和救助策略可如何提高领养决策。本研究调查了访问大西洋中部八个狗狗领养点的潜在领养者的决策考虑因素。研究人员对潜在领养者（N = 517）进行了调查，以了解他们的搜索信息、访问期间的领养意向以及考虑的决策因素。调查结果显示，狗的行为是潜在领养者考虑的首要决定因素（305；58.9%），明显高于偶然因素（χ2 = 16.729，P 2 = 17.456，P 2 = 50.137，P 2 = 57.89，P 2 = 57.89，P 2 = 57.89）。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
