对于在COVID-19疫情期间有孩子的家庭来说，探讨青少年和父母如何看待他们在共同照顾宠物方面的角色至关重要。我们目前的研究结果来自美国的青少年和父母关于宠物护理责任。作为一项更广泛的纵向研究的一部分，我们分析了567名养宠物的青少年和356名10-17岁养狗的青少年的调查数据。我们还对来自同一研究的31名青少年的父母进行了深入访谈。在COVID-19大流行期间，报告有更多宠物照顾责任的青少年更有可能花时间与宠物在一起以科普压力，并改善家庭关系。仅对于狗主人来说，对宠物的责任程度增加与识别为宠物主人的可能性增加显著相关。定性研究结果展示了父母的期望和青少年主动照顾宠物的范围。我们的研究强调了宠物陪伴在青少年时期的持续重要性，因为他们发展了自己作为负责任的宠物主人的身份。对于在COVID-19疫情期间有孩子的家庭来说，探讨青少年和父母如何看待他们在共同照顾宠物方面的角色至关重要。虽然大多数人与动物相互作用的研究都是针对成年人或儿童早期的样本，但我们的重点是青少年的发展。我们目前的研究结果来自美国的青少年调查和家长访谈有关宠物护理责任的混合方法研究。作为一项正在进行的纵向研究的一部分，我们分析了来自567名养宠物的青少年和356名10-17岁养狗的青少年的调查数据，以及来自同一研究的31名青少年父母的深入访谈。在COVID-19大流行期间，对宠物主人和狗主人来说，更高的宠物照顾责任与在压力和改善家庭关系时与宠物共度时光的偏好显著相关。仅对于狗主人来说，对宠物的责任程度增加与识别为宠物主人的可能性增加显著相关。定性研究结果展示了父母的期望和青少年主动照顾宠物的范围。我们的研究强调了宠物陪伴在青少年时期的持续重要性，因为他们发展了自己作为负责任的宠物主人的身份。
For families with children during the COVID-19 pandemic, it is crucial to explore how both youth and parents view their roles with regard to the shared caretaking of pets. We present findings from a U.S. based study of adolescents and parents regarding pet care responsibility. As part of a broader longitudinal study, we analyzed survey data from 567 pet-owning adolescents and a subset of 356 dog owning adolescents aged 10–17. We also conducted 31 in-depth interviews with parents of adolescents from the same study. Adolescents who reported more pet caretaking responsibilities were more likely to spend time with pets to cope with stress and to have improved family relationships during the COVID-19 pandemic. For dog owners only, increased levels of responsibility for the pet was significantly associated with a higher likelihood of identifying as a pet owner. Qualitative findings showcase the range of parental expectations and adolescent initiative around pet caretaking. Our study highlights the continued importance of pet companionship during the adolescent years as they develop their identities as responsible pet owners. For families with children during the COVID-19 pandemic, it is crucial to explore how both youth and parents view their roles with regard to the shared caretaking of pets. While most human–animal interaction studies examine adult or early childhood samples, our focus was on adolescent development. We present findings from a U.S. based mixed-method study of adolescent surveys and parent interviews regarding pet care responsibility. As part of an ongoing longitudinal study, we analyzed survey data from 567 pet-owning adolescents and a subset of 356 dog owning adolescents aged 10–17 as well as 31 in-depth interviews with parents of adolescents from the same study. Higher reported pet caretaking responsibilities was significantly associated with a preference for spending time with pets when stressed and improved family relationships during the COVID-19 pandemic for both pet owners and dog owners. For dog owners only, increased levels of responsibility for the pet was significantly associated with a higher likelihood of identifying as a pet owner. Qualitative findings showcase the range of parental expectations and adolescent initiative around pet caretaking. Our study highlights the continued importance of pet companionship during the adolescent years as they develop their identities as responsible pet owners.
