What are the key factors of psychological resilience in dogs? Why do some individuals recover swiftly from neglect, abuse or several years of harsh kennel environments, while some seem to be permanently traumatized by much milder adverse experiences? Resilience is a concept seldom discussed in canine studies; however, many studies have identified risk factors (both environmental and genetic) for developing anxieties, aggression or other behavioral problems. These studies also indicate several factors that may act as protective agents against life adversities. In this paper, I will present some of the most commonly identified key factors of resilience in other species and discuss what has been found in dogs. This paper is an attempt to raise focus on the positive key factors in a dog's life that are important for dog welfare, a healthy psychological outcome and are also important building blocks of a happy and well-behaving pet.
狗心理恢复力的关键因素有哪些?为什么有些个体能迅速从忽视、虐待或多年恶劣的犬舍环境中恢复过来,而有些个体似乎会因温和得多的不良经历而受到永久性创伤?恢复力是一个在犬类研究中很少被讨论的概念;然而,许多研究已经确定了导致焦虑、攻击性或其他行为问题的风险因素(包括环境和基因方面)。这些研究还指出了一些可能作为抵御生活逆境的保护因素。在本文中,我将介绍一些在其他物种中最常被确定的恢复力关键因素,并讨论在狗身上的研究发现。本文旨在促使人们关注狗生活中的积极关键因素,这些因素对狗的福利、健康的心理结果很重要,也是一只快乐且行为良好的宠物的重要组成部分。
