Introduction
The studies to improve the understanding about human animal interaction
are increasing day by day (McCune, et al, 2020). Human animal
interaction is ancient and is related with human health (Serpell, 2006).
This relationship provided bases for the discovery of human animal bound
(Hines, 2003). Biological impact of human animal interaction is a focus
of modern researchers (Pendry & Vandagriff, 2020). Because animals even
strayed maintain meaning for human beings around the globe (Davey, Zhao
& Khor, 2020). The human animal relationship is so strong that the
experts of robotics develop robots getting insights from human animal
interaction (Grollman, 2014).
A human personality study is a multi-dimensional area. In this area the
relationship of human personality dimensions with human orientation
towards animal and its relationship with animal have been reported in a
few studies (Herzog & Mathews, 1997). Some studies have studied animal
contribution and utility relationship with human attitudes towards the
animals (Serpell, 2004a). Another study examined a similarity in human
attitudes towards animals (Batt, 2009). Human attitudes towards animals
with reference to our empathy towards the animals have also been studied
(Taylor & Signal, 2005). However a few studies found that having a pet
is not related with our personality (Belk, 1996). However, some studies
studied close relationship between personality and pet keeping (Kidd &
Kidds, 1980: Perrine & Osbourne, 1998: Cameron & Mattson, 1972).
The study of the relationship between personality and intelligence in a
known area and the relationship between these two important
psychological constructs have been established in various studies (Goff
& Ackerman, 1992), because, these are related with our day to day
living, function and social relationship (Lopes, Salovey & Straus,
2003). Personality and intelligence also influence our attitudes towards
life (Vakola, Tsaousis & Nikolaou, 2004) to the extent that these
predict our success in life (Laidra, Pullmann & Allik, 2007) and about
our skills (Bastian, Burns & Nettelbeck, 2005).
There could be a question that how keeping a pet could be related with
abient intelligence (Augusto & McCullagh, 2007: Belk, 1996)) if it is
so, than is intelligence and pet keeping related? “Mentalizing” is a
known human feature and we use mentalizing for ours pets (Epley,
Schroeder & Waytz, 2013) in a few cases. A few relevant questions could
be, why it does so in so an so situation and how it would behave when,
or was it more enthusiastic now, reflect thinking about thinking and
that is related with animals and it is intelligent and could be related
with intelligence? Moreover, certain studies have reflected that pets
facilitated the learning process of children, was that participation
something that could be named as intelligence or it was something to
promote intelligence as an external aid again is a question (Shafer,
2006). Moreover, social and emotional development are related with
personality as well as intelligence and studies support that animals
played a role in both kinds of developments (Triebenbacher, 1998: Robin
& Bensel, 1985: McNicholas & Collis, 2001).
