Study Summary
The study's purpose is to evaluate the effects of human-animal interaction on physiological and psychological markers in graduate students. Graduate students face significant anxiety due to demanding coursework, long hours of studying, intense academic challenges, and the pressure to excel. Chronic stress in this population can contribute to elevated anxiety levels and measurable physiological changes, such as increased heart rate and blood pressure. Human-animal interaction (HAI) and its effect on student stress, test anxiety, and physiological markers have been studied on college campuses, largely focusing on undergraduate students. However, research investigating the impact of HAI on graduate student stress, test anxiety, and physiological markers in high-stakes programs is limited. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of repeated HAI on graduate students' physiological markers and anxiety. The results of this study will assist participants, students outside this study, and the program administrators to appreciate the immense value of a full-time therapy dog on campus, facilitating the human-animal bond in higher education.
Primary Outcome
The pain pressure threshold (PPT) is the level of pressure at which a stimulus, initially perceived as non-painful, becomes painful. It's a measure of how sensitive a tissue is to pressure and is often used in clinical settings to assess pain perception and identify potential pain-related conditions. PPT testing helps healthcare providers assess pain sensitivity, muscle tenderness, and potential underlying conditions. It's typically measured using a pressure algometer, a device that applies cont
