Research summary
AI-generated

Hsin-Yi Weng's research examines the relationships between people and companion animals (mainly dogs and cats, with some work on parrots and other species), focusing on how pet ownership relates to human mental health outcomes such as stress and loneliness, and on animal behavior, welfare, and clinical care. Much of the recent work uses survey data and statistical mediation analysis, including studies conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic, alongside veterinary clinical and methodological research (e.g., anesthesia protocols, statistical reporting practices, and assessment tools for aging cats).
