(STUDY FINDS) – Stress is unavoidable, but certain people deal with stressful scenarios and unexpected situations better than others. According to researchers from Kingston University, having a pet can help those who struggle to remain calm under pressure cope with stress.
However, study authors note pet parenthood isn’t always ideal. If a person considers their pet more important than their human friends, it can lead to increased feelings of loneliness.
Psychology student Ece Beren Barklam investigated if having a pet has a connection to better mental well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic. Researchers also accounted for owners’ perceptions of their own resilience levels, as well as how emotionally attached they felt to their pets.
