Pet Attachment, Psychological Ownership, and Death Anxiety
O Criador:
Culligan, Sandra Maria D. and Egan, Amanda C.
Descrição:
Animals are very impactful in human flourishing. This study looked at psychological ownership to further past research, attachment styles to see if pets help teach humans how to form better attachment among themselves, and it looked at death anxiety and if witnessing a pet pass and/or age contributed to an individual's personal fear of death and view on ageing. The study concluded that there is a correlation with pet attachment and psychological ownership, the age of their pet and personal fear of death, and a slight correlation between pet attachment and human attachment.

The Role of Retail Pharmacy in the Treatment of Mental Illness
O Criador:
Sturgill, Melissa
Descrição:
Mental illness treatment in the United States has developed and changed drastically in the past century. Where in the early 1900s,one with a severe mental illness would be institutionalized, today, the same person could be treated with psychotherapy and medications. Pharmacists are the modern bridge to aid those with mental illness to live on their own and contribute to society.

For cattle, a hierarchy is established and maintained by social interactions. It is most obvious when cattle are closely confined, when individuals will be seen to differ in whether they move out of the way of other individuals. The hierarchy is based on the dominance–subordination relationships that exist between each animal, and each other individual in the herd (Hall, 2009).
The herd gets food from three sources, grain, hay, and grass. Understanding where each individual get most of their food is beneficial because it affects the size of each cow and how they make it through the winter. I hypothesize that lower individuals will spend more time grazing in the pasture, similar to what was found by Arave and Albright (1981).
The hierarchy structure in relationship to grooming aims to answer one of two possible hypotheses. The ‘Grooming-for-Commodity’ hypothesis posits that allogrooming is directed from low-ranking animals towards higher-ranking cows in exchange for tolerance and other favors. The ‘Grooming-for-Stability’ hypothesis predicts that allogrooming is performed by high-ranking animals down the hierarchy in order to perpetuate the stability of the social structure (Val-Laillet et al. 2009).
Understanding the social hierarchy of the herd of miniature cattle will help the rancher. This information is helpful when determining who to give more feed to. It also helps when sorting cattle to know which cows to sort together and which ones to keep apart to avoid fighting.
