(1989) were some of the first to call for more research on the link between animal handling and positive affective outcomes, reporting that positive changes in student attitudes (short and long-term) were statistically greater when students handled live animals. Given existing research supporting the effectiveness of touching live animals on participants’ psychological and emotional outcomes, this study further explored the “why” of this impact and questioned if level of physical engagement with an animal can influence outcomes.	cache/aad-129.pdf	txt/aad-129.txt
