The effects of human-animal interactions on animal welfare and productivity are very important. The demographic characteristics, beliefs about mental abilities of animals, religious and cultural beliefs, and values and norms are effects on attitudes and behavior of stockpeople towards to animals. In this paper the factors affecting the human-animal interactions and the effects of this interaction on animal welfare and productivity will be discussed. In addition to some innovative methods are studied like as the attitudinal–behavioral modification treatments consisting of cognitive–behavioral intervention procedures and cognitive-training program designs which target specific attitude–behavior areas in which the individual stockperson requires improvement will be discussed

İnsan-Hayvan Etkileşimlerinin Hayvan Refahına Etkisi

Öz

İnsan-hayvan etkileşimlerinin, hayvan refahı ve verimlilik üzerine etkisi çok önemlidir. Demografik özellikler, hayvanların zihin yeteneklerine ilişkin kanıtlar, dini ve kültürel inanışlar, değerler ve normlar hayvan bakıcılarının hayvanlara yönelik tutum ve davranışlarını etkiler. Bu çalışmada insan-hayvan etkileşimlerini etkileyen faktörler ile bu etkileşimin hayvan refahına ve verimliliğine etkileri ele alınacaktır. Ayrıca çiftçinin hayvana yönelik algısal ve davranımsal profillerinin değiştirilmesi ve iyileştirilmesini amaçlayan bilişsel davranışçı yaklaşımlar ve davranış terapileri ile çiftçinin bireysel gelişim ihtiyaçlarını göz önünde tutan ve belirli bir tutum-davranışı hedefleyen, bilişseldavranışçı müdahale prosedürlerini içeren tutumsal-davranımsal değişim uygulamaları ve bilişsel-eğitim programlarının tasarımları gibi yenilikçi yöntemler ele alınacaktır
