Anonymous users2024-02-12Jealousy is no stranger to everyone, especially when it comes to falling in love, who hasn't knocked over the vinegar jar. However, recent studies have found that dogs may have some primitive form of jealousy.
Most scholars agree that jealousy requires a triangular relationship: the invasion of a third party threatens the vital relationship between the other two. So, the researchers tested a total of 36 dogs of 15 species weighing less than kilograms or having a body length of less than centimeters.
The reason for limiting size is that large dogs can be difficult to control if they are aggressive due to jealousy.
The dogs used in the experiment included a Welsh Corgi, Shetland Shepherd (Shelotdy), Dachshund, Chihuahua, Yorkshire Terrier, Shih Tzu, Pomeranian, Boston Terrier, Harvernay, Malinois, Maltese, Miniature Pinscher Pinschims, Miniature Schnauzers, Pugs, and Mixed Breeds. The researchers set up three experimental conditions, which are:
1. Toy dog: The dog owner plays with a realistic toy dog as instructed and presses the button on its head to make it bark and wag its tail, while at the same time, completely ignoring their dog;
2. Jack-o'-lantern: The dog owner is instructed to play with the jack-o'-lantern as a dog;
3. Books: The dog owner is instructed to hold a children's book and pretend to tell a story to a child, and the book contains pop-up pages and music that can be popped.
The results of the study showed:
1. Dogs showed greater aggression in experimental condition 1, with 25% of dogs trying to bite toy dogs. And when the owner left, 36% of the dogs went to bite the toy dog. In the other two cases, only 1 dog exhibited this behavior.
2. In terms of attracting the owner's attention, the probability of the dog touching the owner and the object in experimental condition 1 is much higher than that of the other two conditions, and trying to interfere between the owner and the object;
3. The frequency of the dog's gaze on the owner and objects was also the highest in experimental condition 1; In terms of attention to objects, it was the dogs in Experimental Condition 1 that performed the highest.
It can be seen that when the owner pays more attention to the dog's "kind" compared to the other two non-social objects, the dog will show very obvious jealousy. When you neglect your pet dog because of other pets or babies, you see how complaining they are!
