Have you bought a puppy yet? Very in vain: scientists from the American Psychological Association conducted an experiment and found that dogs deal with children's stress much more effectively than adults. Stress is the scourge of the 21st century, it does not bypass even children and adolescents. Serious workloads at school, discord with friends, first childhood loves and quarrels - all this leads to stress. In the short term, it causes migraines and sleep problems, in the long term it can cause full-fledged depression. And doctors are constantly looking for ways to cope with stress.
The American Psychological Association experiment is another attempt to answer the question of how to deal with stress in children. To participate in the experiment, American psychologists invited 101 families with children from 7 to 12 years old and dogs. Each child was asked to solve two problems: 1) prepare a short speech and give it to strangers, 2) solve a mathematical problem in the presence of strangers. The tasks were supposed to cause stress in the children. And parents who provide emotional support, or pets - dogs - could help children with stress. It turned out that the presence of a parent next to the child not only did not lower the stress indicator, but even increased it, while the presence of a dog nearby had a calming effect on the children. The researchers attributed this to the fact that the animal provided the child with unconditional support - and the child was not afraid that the dog would begin to evaluate his knowledge or agree with the opinion of the examiner. It was a little more difficult with the level of cortisol, the stress hormone. It turned out that if the dog was simply present in the same room, the level of the hormone in the blood of the kids did not drop much, but if the child called the dog, stroked it and played with it, then the stress level dropped significantly. From the whole experiment, psychologists made the following conclusion: purely psychologically, the presence of a dog nearby helps to relieve stress in a child, and if the child additionally interacts with the animal, then the stress will decrease at the physiological level.
