Titre : Effect of human-animal interaction on the well-being and quality of life [Effet de l’interaction homme-animal sur le bien-être et la qualité de vie] Auteurs : KASSEM Jradi, Auteur ; RABIH El Chammay, Auteur ; RAAD G, Auteur ; SAMI Richa, Auteur Année de publication : 2024 Article en page(s) : 275-283 Note générale : Fig./Tabl./43 réf. bibliogr. Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : COVID-19 INTERACTION RELATION HOMME ANIMAL QUALITE DE VIE BIEN ETRE Résumé : Background: COVID-19, the economic and the political crises happening in Lebanon, have enforced social distancing and isolation, causing severe psychological states. However, these psychological consequences have highlighted the aim behind the interactions between humans and animals. In this study, we aimed to investigate the interaction between humans and animals and to compare the well-being and quality of life of the Lebanese pet owners in Lebanon in the face of stressors currently experienced and animals’ companionship. Methods: An observational cross-sectional retrospective design was involved in this study. The study enrolling 314 participants via an online survey was conducted between March 2021 and May 2021. The questionnaire used was pre-tested and participants were given the choice of not participating. Participants were Lebanese and over the age of 18; they responded to questions regarding their interactions with animals and the impact of different stressors on their mental and physical state.
Results:The study's findings indicate that most participants perceived their animals as a valuable source of support, and there was a significant correlation between the strength of the bond with their companion animals (as measured by the Comfort from Companion Animal Scale (CCAS) (R = 0.14, P = 0.009)) and their well-being. Additionally, the study revealed that individuals who had a closer relationship with their pets engaged in more physical activity, socialized more through social media during the pandemic period, and maintained better relationships with their parents and other relatives. However, the results showed no significant correlation between individuals’ quality of life and their interaction with animals (R = 0.10, P = 0.07).
Conclusion:The positive impact of human-animal interaction on human well-being has been observed in Lebanon under various stressors. This impact is closely related to the strength of the bond between humans and their animals. During the pandemic period, having a companion animal was found to promote human well-being by encouraging physical activity and social interaction. It is noteworthy that emotional and psychological health was not affected by the number of animals an individual owned. However, the recent COVID-19, political, and socio-economic crises in Lebanon have raised serious concerns regarding the psychological state of its citizens. Thus, further research is needed to address the issues highlighted in this study.

Titre : A comprehensive review on the role of testosterone on the neurobehavioral systems implicated in the reinforcement sensitivity theory of personality [Une revue narrative sur le rôle de la testostérone sur les systèmes neurobiologiques impliqués dans la théorie de sensibilité aux renforcements] Auteurs : EL AHDAB J, Auteur ; KHACHAN MJ, Auteur ; RICHA S, Auteur ; RAAD G, Auteur Année de publication : 2023 Article en page(s) : 174-184 Note générale : Fig./Tabl./80 réf. bibliogr. Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : TESTOSTERONE NEUROBIOLOGIE NEUROPHYSIOLOGIE NEUROPSYCHOLOGIE COMPORTEMENT PERSONNALITE Résumé : Objectives:The Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory (RST) is a neuropsychological theory of personality emphasizing approach and avoidance as the two core behavioral aspects. Approach is represented by the behavioral approach system (BAS). Avoidance is represented by the behavioral inhibition system (BIS) and the fight-flight-freeze system (FFFS). Although the influence of testosterone on human behavior has been demonstrated, few studies have investigated the relation between testosterone and the RST. The aim of this narrative review was to decipher the possible role of testosterone on the biological systems involved in the RST in humans. Methods:Google scholar, PubMed, PsycARTICLES, PsycINFO, Scopus and Cochrane library databases were interrogated using keywords such as testosterone, BIS, BAS, FFFS, personality, reinforcement sensitivity theory. Results:Seven original articles, published between 2009 and 2022, assessing the relation between testosterone and the systems implicated in the RST, were included. The results of these studies suggested the presence of a possible positive relation between testosterone and the BAS. However, the impact of testosterone on the BIS and/or FFFS seems to be less clear. Discussion:The consistency in the results supporting the presence of a positive relation between testosterone and the BAS might lead to the consideration of testosterone as a potential correlate in the clinical assessment of several psychopathologies. The inconsistency in the conclusions regarding the impact of testosterone on the BIS and/or the FFFS might be attributed to the different questionnaires used as measurement tools. Additional research remains needed.
