University Students Interested in Stress-Reducing Cats
While a number of universities offer students opportunities to play with dogs as a way to reduce stress, little is known about whether cats could help in the same way.

So researchers from the US and Belgium surveyed more than 1,400 students and staff from 19 Belgian universities to see how interested they would be in on-campus cat visiting programs.

Participants were asked seven questions about a possible cat program, including whether they would like to have a cat on campus, if they would find it relaxing, whether they would visit the cat, and whether they would recommend a cat program to other universities. They gave each idea a score out of five.

The average total score was 3.8 in favor of a campus cat.

The researchers found that the people with the most positive feelings about a cat program were women, cat owners, people who were more emotional, and — perhaps surprisingly — people who were interested in dog programs.

The study authors said that previous research has shown that emotional people are more likely to have strong relationships with animals.

However, dog owners, as well as people who were afraid of or allergic to cats, were found to be less interested in a cat program. Some also worried that having a cat on campus would be risky.

According to the researchers, the aim of the study was to find more ways to help people feel less stressed.

They believe cats can help, since including both cats and dogs in these stress-reducing programs could encourage more people to take part, and cats would need less training than dogs to help.

20240105浅聊姓名

Un día me encontraba en una cafetería trabajando con mi NOTEBOOK, mientras esperaba a mi amiga para compartir un delicioso BRUNCH. Habíamos acordado vernos para planear nuestro próximo SAFARI juntas, un HOBBY que adquirimos cuando nos volvimos FANS de un BLOG de amantes de la naturaleza. Lo primero que hice fue conectarme al WIFI del lugar, silencié mi SMARTPHONE para evitar las notificaciones de las APPS, activé mi PLAYLIST de música funcional, y ordené un MILKSHAKE con un MUFFIN. Luego, consulté en internet un listado de los mejores HOSTELS y resorts ALL-INCLUSIVE para enviarles un par de EMAILS con consultas. Varios de ellos incluían CHATS en sus páginas WEB y LINKS a páginas de turismo. De tanto investigar, encontré un hermoso BUNGALÓ con varias comodidades PREMIUM: TV, SNACKS saludables, un área de COWORKING, acceso a un campo de GOLF, una pequeña cancha de HANDBALL, sesiones de FITNESS gratuitas, POOL PARTIES y SHOWS nocturnos con DJ incluido. Este lugar se encontraba en el TOP TEN del RANKING de alojamientos más recomendados y estaba ubicado en una zona muy visitada por los amantes del TREKKING y el RUNNING. 
Luego, TABLET en mano y con un bonito OUTFIT (JEANS azules, un SHALL y un SWEATER BEIGE), llegó mi amiga algo nerviosa. Volvía de un CASTING donde había grabado un VIDEOCLIP, había hecho un TEST muy difícil y el FEEDBACK que recibió no fue tan bueno. Se sentó, se roció un bonito BODY SPLASH, ordenó un SANDWICH con PICKLES, un menú VEGGIE con ROLLS muy deliciosos y un jugo DETOX. Nos sacamos una SELFIE sin FLASH, me habló de los SHORTS y BIKINIS que compró para el viaje, y conversamos sobre mi nuevo trabajo de MARKETING y asesoría de COPYRIGHT en el que ofrezco un amplio PORTFOLIO de servicios. Entre mis clientes, se encuentran autores de BEST SELLERS, programas de REALITIES, desarrolladores de SOFTWARE, algunos INFLUENCERS y profesores de COACHING ontológico.  
Seguidamente, hablamos de nuestro viaje y, al terminar, partimos hacia nuestro CLUB favorito.
