The Psychology of Pet Ownership

This survey will ask questions about different situations involving a pet. With each question, answer honestly and to the best of your ability. Think about your own experience with a pet when answering.

If you do not own a pet, rate your responses based on how you believe you would respond in a theoretical scenario, or go off of examples you have where you have interacted with other people's animal companions, like a friend's or family member's pet. In place of "pet" you can also answer based on any other instance where you have interacted with animals in nature or felt connected to a fictional animal character.
