隨著國人社會家庭結構的改變,人口老齡化、長壽化、少子化、頂客族和單身族群比率年年攀升,相對地影響到飼養寵物人數的提升,主要的原因大多是希望藉由飼養寵物來陪伴以增加生活樂趣。對於現代人而言,寵物已經不只是一種物體,飼主因多了情感付出而與寵物產生出新的家人關係,飼主將寵物視為家人,也會因金錢投入與時間投入產生情感依附及正面情緒,進而提升幸福感。本論文主要目的研究國人飼養寵物從資源承諾方向,探討正面情緒、情感依附與幸福感是否呈現正相關? 透過Google表單回收477名台灣成年人線上調查,研究發現,寵物飼主因為時間及金錢的投入,情感上產生依附關係及正面情緒,情感依附及正面情緒又與寵物飼主之資源投入、時間投入呈正向關係。而情感依附、正面情緒又與寵物飼主幸福感呈正向關係。綜合言之,藉由寵物飼主之飼養投入行為可以增加寵物飼主情感依附、正面情緒,進而增加寵物飼主幸福感,使國人身心健康,創造幸福感。 Can pets fulfill owners's social needs and improve owners' happiness? This study examines the association among resource commitments (money and time), positive emotion, affect attachment, and happiness. In the current study, 477 Taiwanese adults completed an online survey using Google forms. The result shows that money and time commitments have a positive impact on positive emotion and affect attachment, and that positive emotion and affect attachment have a positive impact on happiness. Managerial implications and future directions are discussed.
