ABSTRACT
This study aimed to compare the psychological profile of pet owners with the ones who didn't own any pets. The research method was a casual-comparative study. Pet owners and people without pets were included in this research which was done in Iran in February 2017. One hundred and sixty people were selected in this sample in a nonrandom available sampling method and matched in terms of demographic characteristics. Eighty people, pet owners, were referred to the veterinary clinics and 80 didn't own any pets. They were assessed by a psychological signs inventory. The result of ANOVA indicated that pet owners and those without any pets were indifferent in the characteristics of anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, hostility, paranoid, interpersonal sensitivity, and psychosis, while those without any pets, statistically had a higher average in somatization and depression than the pet owners and it could be justified by corrective emotional experience, displacement, and sublimation in the pet owner. This statistic can be based on the fact that pet owners use these animals as an object for thrilling topics which is a factor to decrease their psychological stress and increase their physical health.(AU)
RESUMO
O presente trabalho é um estudo comparativo casual que comparou o perfil psicológico de tutores e não tutores de animais de estimação. Os tutores e os não tutores foram incluídos na pesquisa realizada no mês de fevereiro de 2017 em Isfahan, Irã. Os 160 participantes da investigação foram selecionados de forma não casual e associados com base nas suas características demográficas. Os 80 tutores de animais haviam procurado clínicas veterinárias e o grupo controle nunca teve qualquer animal de estimação. Os dois grupos foram submetidos a um questionário psicológico. O tratamento estatístico dos resultados por análise de variância revelou a ausência de diferença entre os dois grupos para as características ansiedade, desordens obsessivas-compulsivas, hostilidade, paranoia, sensibilidade interpessoal e psicoses. Contudo, foi constatado que os não tutores de animais de estimação apresentaram uma média estatisticamente mais elevada de somatização e depressão, o que pode ser justificado por uma experiência emocional corretiva, deslocamento e sublimação evidenciada nos tutores que pode ser atribuída ao fato dos animais constituírem um fator de valor emocional que contribui para a redução do estresse psicológico e melhoria da saúde física e emocional dos seus tutores.(AU)
