Research Agenda

WWRI studies the measurable effects of animal-assisted therapy (AAT) on stress and wellbeing in workplace settings. Our approach emphasizes standardized instruments and reproducible methods, with the long-term aim of supporting multi-site, longitudinal research and a shared measurement standard for workplace AAT.

Instruments

• Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) — a widely used, validated measure of perceived stress.

• WWRI Workplace Wellbeing Survey — a 20-item instrument developed by WWRI, incorporating the validated PSS-10 alongside custom items.
