Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Abstract --A two-tier study was conducted to examine the attitudes, beliefs and actions toward the family pet. The first tier of the study examined violent and nonviolent families, while the second tier examined batterers who abuse human family members only and those who also abuse the family pets. Conditions within the violent homes with regard to the family pets were also examined. The present study (Tier 1) examined the attitudes, perceptions and behaviors of both violent and non-violent families with regard to companion animals. The goal was to determine whether there existed significant differences between these two groups in their perceptions, attitudes and treatment of the family pets. Data was gathered through surveying victims of family violence residing at domestic violence shelters and a control group comprised of randomly selected pet guardians in upstate New York. More specifically, this study was conducted to determine whether there were differences between abusive and non-abusive family members in terms of (1) perceptions of companion animals as sentient beings vs. property, (2) tendencies to "scapegoat" the family pet for personal and/or family problems, (3) sensitivity to hassles and stressors in the environment--particularly those perceived as being caused by the pets, (4) unrealistic expectations about animals. The results indicated there are statistically significant differences between these two groups in attitudes, beliefs and behaviors with regard to the family pet.
