Woman and cats: scientists have found out what are the characteristics of female catwitches, and why we think about them worse than necessary
For some reason, and once upon a time, a stereotype has developed in society - if a woman is an avid catwoman, then she is not all right with her personal life and extremely unstable psyche. It is possible that the stereotype became a "hello" from old women who have cats to brighten up their loneliness. Be that as it may, scientists decided to become interested in the problem, and the medical forum portal publishes the results of the study today.
University of California Scientists Research Results Show Ladies not at all so unhappy psychologically unstable and lonely, as we used to think about them. To participate in the experiment invited girls who do not keep animals at home. All the ladies underwent a psychological examination, testing. Then, a group of women who were the mistress of cats was invited for personality testing, and many of them had more than one cat or cat.
This group also included dog owners. Testing results revealed that both catwomen and those who do not keep animals completely similar views on family relationships. Women from both groups showed many similar psychological reactions, their mental stability and traits from the presence or absence of a cat in the house in no way dependent.
Catwalkers showed one big plus in front of the participants of the first group - they showed a higher level of empathy. This is the ability to compassion and empathy.
Therefore, catwalkers should rehabilitate in the eyes of society, scientists say. In some ways, they are even better than those who do not like cats and do not keep cats at home.
The same group of researchers disproved another myth, which states that the presence of a woman’s dog characterizes her as a balanced, active and healthy person.In fact, dog owners and those who don't have dogs, too not too different from each other. The only difference is that you need to walk with the dog, and the owners of the dogs, in fact, are in better physical shape.
Scientists and social networks in which there are so many cats, cats and puppies did not pass by. Simple calculations of the number of followers of the subjects showed that women-witches usually have an average of Facebook 26 less friendsthan women who regularly share pictures with their dogs.
