Control Group (n = 34) Assessment 1Assessment 2 Weekly Horse Interaction Group (n = 15) Assessment 1 Assessment 2 Daily Horse Interaction Group (n = 6) Assessment 1 Assessment 2 The Effect of Interaction with Horses on Psychological Well-being on Psychological Well-being Megan Kuhl Sarah Ritter Johanna Rodig Janet B. Dean, PhD Megan Kuhl Sarah Ritter Johanna Rodig Janet B. Dean, PhD Stress and Mood Owning a horse increases positive mood and decreases stress (Koch, 2008) Participation in 4 ½ days of Equine-Assisted Experiential Therapy leads to a decrease in psychological distress and an increase in psychological well-being after 4 ½ days (Klontz, 2007) Self-Efficacy Interviews with 5 abused women show equine-facilitated psychotherapy helps women feel like they had power to direct their own lives (Meinersmann, 2008) Equine-rehabilitation and onotherapy (donkeys) improved autonomy for intellectually challenged adults (Borioni et al., 2012) Short-Comings in Published Research Small sample sizes, Non-random sampling, No control groups Hypothesis 1 : People with more regular interaction with horses will report a greater change in self-efficacy, anxiety, mindfulness, mood, and work ethic. : Hypothesis 2 : Participants with previous horse experience will show less change in self-efficacy, anxiety, mindfulness, mood, and work ethic than those with no previous horse experience. Finding #1 – Self-Efficacy – Participants’ general self-efficacy tended to change over the three week period, F (2, 52) = 9.13, p < (One-Way ANOVA). The Weekly Horse Interaction group showed greater change than the Control group, p < (LSD). The Daily Horse Interaction group had scores than the Weekly Horse Interaction group, p < (LSD). Finding #2 – Anxiety – Participants’ anxiety levels tended to decrease over the three week period, F (2, 52) = 3.87, p < (One-Way ANOVA). The Weekly Horse Interaction group showed a sharper decline in depression than did the Control group, p = (LSD). Finding #3 – Mindfulness – The difference between Scores 1 and Scores 2 showed that the mindfulness and attention awareness of participants almost demonstrated a significant change over the three week period (one-way ANOVA). F (2, 52) = 3.097, p = Finding #4 – Mood & Work Ethic – There were no significant differences. Conclusions The Weekly Horse Interaction group demonstrated the greatest positive change in general self-efficacy and anxiety. There were no differences among the groups for mindfulness, mood, and work ethic. The amount of horse experience did not significantly impact the results. Limitations Small experimental group sizes No random sampling Short time period between Scores 1 and 2 Only three participants had no previous horse experience Future Implications Use larger experimental groups Add Environmental Awareness assessment Assess how horses could impact a clinical population Borioni, N., Marinaro, P., Celestini, S.
