Brief Summary: The study aims to identify and quantify objective non-invasive measures of the immediate effect of contact with dogs in a standardized experimental setup Employing a within-subject design the study includes healthy participants that are exposed to three different levels of contact to a dog compared with a no-dog control condition while obtaining measures of both physiological behavioral and psychological effects
Detailed Description: Using a within-subjects design we will compare four standardised and controlled test situations with different levels of dog contact

1 visual V 2 tactile and visual TV 3 tactile visual interaction TVI and 4control C

The participants will be subjected to all four test situations on the same day and will be randomly allocated to test order

On the test day we collect background information and baseline measures for the participants baseline period duration 50 minutes whereafter they rest for 30 minutes pre-intervention rest period After this the participants are subjected to the four test situations 10 minutes each that are followed by rest intervals 30 minutes each

The participants interaction with the dog during the 10-minute test situations are standardised according to the specific contact treatment Most physiological and all behavioural measures are recorded continuously throughout each test in order for us to link the dosage of dog the different levels of contact with the psychological responses and some physiological measures obtained before an after each test situation

Below is shown the exact time schedule of the test day that we refer to when describing the outcome measures The baseline period 30 minutes is not included in the total test period total duration 190 minutes that consist of a pre-intervention and intervention period

Baseline period 50 minutes - not part of total test period
Pre-intervention period start t0 minutes end t 30 minutes
Test situation 1 start t30 minutes end t40 minutes
Rest period 1 start t40 minutes end t 70 minutes
Test situation 2 start t70 minutes end t80 minutes
Rest period 2 start t80 minutes end t 110 minutes
Test situation 3 start t110 minutes end t120 minutes
Rest period 3 start t120 minutes end t 150 minutes
Test situation 4 start t150 minutes end t160 minutes
Rest period 4 start t160 minutes end t 190 minutes
