Summary

The study aims to identify and quantify objective non-invasive measures of the immediate effect of contact with dogs in a standardized experimental setup. Employing a within-subject design, the study includes healthy participants that are exposed to three different levels of contact to a dog compared with a no-dog control condition while obtaining measures of both physiological, behavioral, and psychological effects.

Conditions

  • Physiological Responses to Contact With Dogs
  • Psychological Responses to Contact With Dogs
  • Behavioural Responses to Contact With Dogs

Interventions

OTHER

Different intensities of contact to dogs

Each subject is exposed to four test situations of 10 minutes. Three situations with increasing intensity of dog contact, and one control test situation with no contact to a dog. The order of the test situations is random and with 30 minute washout in-between
