The animal-human bond is quite easily one of the purest bonds that exist out there. A research study was conducted by Swamy, S., Bedi, R., and Dawnak, Y. in order to establish and explore how the animal-human bond impacts an individual’s general stress levels and welfare. A review of literature for some recent papers on the same topic have been included so as to understand the relationship between pets and stress better. The formulated hypothesis was – pets bring about a significant difference in general stress levels. To investigate whether having pets has an effect on an individual’s stress responses, conducted a field study. A survey was conducted in order to get data that was later scored to verify our hypothesis. We identified two independent variables (IV) – sex (at two levels – male and female) and pets (at two levels – people with and without pets). The questionnaire was administered to 60 participants (n = 60), between the ages of 15 to 35. Equal number of males and females were randomly selected for the study (m = 30 & f = 30). Further, the number of males was divided into 15 males who are pet parents and 15 males who are not petted parents through random selection. Similarly, the number of females was divided and 15 females who are pet parents and 15 females who are not petted parents were randomly selected. In order to gather data for this study, an unstandardized questionnaire was developed. It had 11 items in total. The rating scale used to measure the responses was a 5-point-Likert-type scale (one that allows the individual to express how much they agree or disagree with a particular statement). The psychometric properties of this rating scale can be found as a result of further research. A parametric inferential statistical analysis was employed, i.e., a 2x2 ANOVA. The two independent variables identified were sex and people with pets and people with no pets. It was observed that the f value for the interaction effect between gender and pet ownership is 1.106, p>0.05. This suggests that there are no significant differences between males and females who own pets and those who don’t. Therefore, the results were not in line with the aforementioned research since there were so significant differences found between pets and stress. However, discussions about why that could have happened has been mentioned in the paper under the Results/Discussion section.
