DOG IN HUMAN´S LIFE
KUČEROVÁ, Barbora
The basic research problem of this thesis was to investigate the relationship between living with a dog and its influence on submissiveness, emotionality and hostility of an adolescent. For the practical part of this thesis a quantitative type of research was chosen and specifically, a comparative study that aimed to compare the group of respondents growing up with a dog to the group growing up without a dog. The three main hypotheses were based on various authors´ statements mentioned in the theoretical part (H1: Adolescents growing up in a family with a dog are manifested by lower hostility, H2: Adolescents growing up in a family with a dog have higher self-esteem, H3: Adolescents growing up in a family with a dog better control their emotions). To select the research sample the method of random and criteria selection was used. The research sample included 104 respondents. For data collection a standardized Bell´s adaptability questionnaire was used, which was administered in an online form. Based on statistical analysis all three hypotheses were disproved. For hypothesis H2 and H3 the statistical significance could not be demonstrated between the two groups of respondents. For the hypothesis H1 the opposite of its claim (adolescents growing up without the dog showed less hostility) was confirmed statistically. This hypothesis was therefore also disproved.
