Abstract | This Ex Post Facto research, utilizing a static group comparison, sought to answer the following questions:
A questionnaire was developed and administered on-site to a census of 4-H Pet PALS youth (N=74) and a random sample of 4-H companion animal youth (n=74). 4-H PetPALS project members exhibited more positive attitudes toward their pets, experienced a stronger attachment to their pets and were more empathic toward people than youth who completed solely a companion animal 4-H project. A regression analysis revealed that youth who completed the 4-H Pet PALS project and were female were significant predictors of attitudes toward pets, and empathic attitudes toward people. |
