Tóm tắt
Post-secondary students are experiencing more stress than ever before. In an attempt to help alleviate some of this stress, animal-assisted therapy (AAT) events were held on the campus of a small liberal arts institution just prior to final exams in the Fall and Winter terms. All students were invited to mingle with dogs and handlers from a local AAT advocacy group. In Study 1, students were surveyed following the events held in the Fall and Winter and self-reported an improved mood as a result of the events as well as being extremely satisfied with the experience. Similarly, Study 2, held in the subsequent Fall, replicated the findings from Study 1. In addition, the Brief Mood Inspection Scale, administered before and after the event, found students' mood improved on all three subscales. The implications for future research to fully assess the impact of such events on students are discussed. © Copyright 2018 by Koninklijke Brill NV, Leiden, The Netherlands.
