This tool is based on real scientific research. Researchers at Oregon State University (Vitale et al., 2019) showed that cats form the same kinds of emotional bonds with their owners as children do with parents. Similar findings were confirmed for dogs (Solomon et al., 2018). A large Finnish study (2023) found that dogs with weaker bonds with their owners showed higher stress levels in their bodies. The questions about owners are based on well-established research into how adults form close relationships (Kurdek, 2008; Mikulincer & Shaver, 2007).
