Pawsitively sad: pet-owners are more sensitive to negative emotion in animal distress vocalizations

et al. 2019

Pets have numerous, effective methods to communicate with their human hosts. Perhaps most conspicuous of these are distress vocalizations: in cats, the ‘miaow’ and in dogs, the ‘whine’ or ‘whimper’. We compared a sample of young adults who owned cats and or dogs (‘pet-owners’ n = 264) and who did not ( n = 297) on their ratings of the valence of animal distress vocalizations, taken from a standardized database of sounds. We also examined these participants' self-reported symptoms of anxiety and depression, and their scores on a measure of interpersonal relationship functioning. Pet-owners rated the animal distress vocalizations as sadder than adults who did not own a pet. Cat-owners specifically gave the most negative ratings of cat miaows compared with other participants, but were no different in their ratings of other sounds. Dog sounds were rated more negatively overall, in fact as negatively as human baby cries. Pet-owning adults (cat only, dog only, both) were not significantly different from adults with no pets on symptoms of depression, anxiety or on self-reported interpersonal relationship functioning. We suggest that pet ownership is associated with greater sensitivity to negative emotion in cat and dog distress vocalizations.

“…Atualmente, muitas outras plataformas permitem que os usuários criem conteúdo, como as redes sociais Facebook, Twitter e Instagram. Como consequência, estudos mais recentes ampliaram os ambientes digitais passíveis de observação naturalística, privilegiando aqueles onde as pessoas têm oportunidade para interagir e se expressar (e.g., Hagan et al, 2017;Kosinski et al, 2013).…”

The range of naturalistic observations of personality in online environments has been expanded with new communication technologies. That made it possible to capture a large volume of digital footprints (Big Data). This research aimed to carry out a systematic literature review of national and international scientific articles that used digital footprints to observe personality in the period from 2011 to 2020. The articles were accessed in the electronic databases PsycINFO, SciELO, Scopus (Elsevier), and PePSIC. In total, 25 articles were found, the most used social networks to obtain digital traces were Facebook and Twitter. It has also been found that personality assessment using digital footprints has been used for different purposes, such as developing product recommendation systems and automatic cyberbullying detection systems. The importance of Brazilian researchers to acquire the technical resources necessary to conduct empirical research on personality and big data is discussed, considering that only one of the articles found was published by Brazilian researchers.Keywords: Personality, digital footprints, social networks, observation methods, Big Data

The outbreak of the World Wide Web and of web 2.0 technologies, coupled with various increased forms of social interaction on globalized digital networks, has not spared higher education in Sub-Saharan Africa. Through social media, students can share points of view and ideas on common themes, unite around communities they have created sharing the same interests and the same ideology. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of social media on student performance using an extended Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The data collected from 460 students and analyzed using SmartPLS software and Structural Equation Modeling revealed that (1) Perceived Satisfaction, Attitude, Intention to Use have a significant influence on academic performance and that (2) Agreeableness and Openness significantly contribute to Perceived Ease of Use and Perceived Usefulness. This research adds to the existing literature by modeling and evaluating a social media and personality traits-based model, thus offering a holistic approach to understanding social media use in Higher Education.
