Area of Science:

  • Human-Animal Interaction
  • Animal-Assisted Interventions
  • Physiological Monitoring
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Canine-assisted interactions (CAIs) show therapeutic potential but lack objective evaluation methods.
  • Previous research often overlooks the canine perspective and employs weak methodologies.
  • There's a need for simultaneous, continuous physiological data from both humans and canines in CAIs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel wearable system for collecting simultaneous physiological data from humans and canines during CAIs.
  • To combine physiological data with behavioral coding and surveys to analyze CAI outcomes.
  • To elucidate the dynamics and well-being impacts of CAIs from a dyadic perspective.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a comprehensive wearable system using custom and commercial sensors for dual physiological data collection.
  • Conducting a repeated-measures pilot study integrating physiological data with a novel dyadic behavioral coding method and surveys.
  • Independent evaluation of multimodal data streams and correlation of psychological, physiological, and behavioral metrics.

Main Results:

  • Human electrodermal activity significantly distinguished between interaction and non-interaction periods.
  • Human participants showed increased valence, arousal, and positive affect during CAIs.
  • Canine heart rate was more dynamic than human heart rate; surveys best indicated affective state; behavior coding tracked bond quality.

Conclusions:

  • The developed system offers a robust method for objective, simultaneous measurement of human and canine psychophysiological states during CAIs.
  • CAIs positively impact human affective states, with distinct physiological and behavioral dynamics observed in the dyad.
  • Future research should focus on dyadic analysis, interspecies emotion prediction, and standardization of HAI measurement tools.
