Book Description

New Directions in the Human-Animal Bond November 1, 2006
This book gathers, in one place, those measures presently used to study the human-companion animal bond. The measures chosen for inclusion are the most heavily used by researchers, as well as measures that appear to be innovative or relate to the different aspects of the human-companion animal relationship. The measures cover the human-animal bond principally by attachment, but also by fear, abuse, or neglect.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great summary of research and useful to have the tools, April 4, 2007
This review is from: Assessing the Human-Animal Bond: A Compendium of Actual Measures (New Directions in the Human-Animal Bond) (Paperback)
This book is great in that it provides the actual survey tools used to assess the human-animal bond, as well as references where to find where the tools have been used. Wonderful that this information can be found at your fingertips! Would appreciate clarification on whether we can freely use these tools. Highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to evaluate human-animal interactions, even in regards to other types of research, such as compliance in other aspects of veterinary medicine.
