Abstract

Perceived stress is a subjective perception that individuals have towards stressors in life. Due to the occurring pandemic, individuals’ perceived stress are at risk as various stressors resulting from social and physical distancing have emerged. For certain individuals, the lack of social interaction could also act as a stressor in their lives. To fulfill this lack of social interaction, some individuals would start to accept or further perceived their companion animal as a source of social support. Moreover, staying at home enables individuals to spend more time with their companion animal, which in turn could strengthen the attachment towards their companion animal. The attachment style that appears would then affect an individual’s level of perceived stress. To further substantiate the relationship between these variables, another variable is added into the equation, namely self-compassion. As results of past research papers had found that self-compassion has a profound effect towards perceived stress, the key point of this research is to measure the role of self-compassion as a moderator between attachment to companion animal towards perceived stress. In this quantitative research, there were 323 pet owners/animal caregivers, aged 15-55 years old, that took part in answering the following psychological instruments; Perceived Stress Scale-10 (PSS-10), Pet Attachment Questionnaire (PAQ), and Self-Compassion Scale (SCS)/Skala Welas Diri (SWD). Results of this study indicate that self-compassion has no significant role as a moderator (p= 0.285>0.05), yet it has a prominent role as the second independent variable.
