Adolescence is a prime developmental period to explore human-pet relationships and social competence, given that teens are becoming more autonomous, focusing on other attachment figures such as peers, romantic partners, and pets. Social technology is another salient developmental forum for enacting socially competent behaviors. Given the amount of time spent with social technologies (e.g., texting, gaming, browsing) in the adolescent years, we predicted strong associations between the quality of human-pet relationships, social competence, and social technology use. We analyzed a sample of 700 middle school students aged 11–16 (average age = 12.7) in the Northeast. We used logistic and linear regression models to explore how pet companionship is associated with social technology use and the quality of online social connections Adolescents with dog companions were more likely to check social media more frequently, give and receive online social support, and feel less social isolation. The more time spent with a pet, the more likely the adolescent played online games for leisure and browsed the Internet about animals. The more attached one was to a pet companion, the more likely an adolescent provided and received online social support.

宠物陪伴在青少年线上和线下社交互动中的作用

青春期是探索人与宠物关系和社交能力的主要发展时期,因为青少年变得更加自主,专注于其他依恋对象,如同龄人、浪漫伴侣和宠物。社交技术是另一个重要的发展论坛,用于制定具有社交能力的行为。鉴于青少年时期使用社交技术(例如,发短信、游戏、浏览)的时间量,我们预测人与宠物关系的质量、社交能力和社交技术使用之间存在很强的关联。我们分析了东北地区 700 名 11-16 岁(平均年龄 = 12.7)中学生的样本。我们使用逻辑和线性回归模型来探索宠物陪伴如何与社交技术的使用和在线社交联系的质量相关联 有狗陪伴的青少年更有可能更频繁地查看社交媒体,给予和接受在线社交支持,并且感觉不那么社交隔离。与宠物相处的时间越长,青少年玩网络游戏休闲和浏览有关动物的互联网的可能性就越大。一个人对宠物伴侣的依恋程度越高,青少年提供和接受在线社会支持的可能性就越大。
