“其实,我以前开过一家综合宠物店,但我发现养狗的和养猫的人,性格真心差太远。我觉得还是狗主人的钱更好赚,来定期定量买狗粮的永远比买猫粮的多,还有就是…… 我女朋友就是喜欢猫的,后来和她闹了矛盾,然后…… 然后就没有然后了。”
在2012年的那场总统大选中(2016年貌似没人把养狗的人数数据拿出来和投票结果做对比),按养狗人数多寡来看,美国养狗最多的10个州中,有9州都是共和党胜出(川普就是共和党代表,当下的美国总统,共和党偏向保守),而在美国养狗最少的10个州中,有9州都把多数票投给了民主党派的奥巴马(民主党偏向开放)。[6]
一方面,动物和人一样,有语言、行为、甚至也有情绪,而心理学研究的不就是这些东西嘛;
另一方面,就像本期内容一样,心理学家关注的焦点,也包括动物和人的互动、以及这种互动对双方带来的影响,无论这种影响是积极的还是消极的。
