Abstract

Ovaj diplomski rad istražio je kako laboratorijski psi pasmine beagle, koji su uzgojeni u uvjetima ograničene interakcije s ljudima, odgovaraju na različite izražene osjećaje na ljudskim licima. Glavno pitanje bilo je koji su mogući utjecaji tipa osjećaja i poznavanja osobe predstavljene na fotografiji, na vizualnu pažnju i otkucaje srca laboratorijskih pasa pasmine beagle. Nakon provođenja eksperimenta pomoću tehnike praćenja pogleda uz simultano mjerenje otkucaja srca, glavni dobiveni zaključci su da poznavanje osobe predstavljene na slici ima važnu ulogu, te da područja oči i usta ljudskog lica najsnažnije privlače pažnju pasa. Bez obzira na razlike u uvjetima odrastanja između laboratorijskih pasa i pasa kućnih ljubimaca, psi su bili sposobni uočiti važne djelove ljudskog lica, što ukazuje na činjenicu da je sposobnost percepcije i prepoznavanja na licima izraženih ljudskih emocija
urođena vrsti pas, te postupno usavršavana procesom socijalizacije.

Abstract (english)

This thesis has explored the ability of laboratory dogs (breed beagle), which have been raised in conditions of limited interaction with humans, to respond to emotions expressed in human faces. The main addressed question was of possible influences of emotion and familiarity of human faces on both the visual attention and the heart rate of laboratory beagles. After conducting the eye-tracking experiment with simultaneous heart rate measurements, main gained conclusions are that the familiarity of person presented on picture plays an important role, and that the area of eyes and mouth of the human face are the strongest attention attractors. Regardless of the difference in social environment between laboratory beagles and average pet dogs, the beagles were able to direct the attention to the important parts of human face, which suggests that the ability of perception and recognition of human emotions expressed in faces is in the species, and is gradually enhanced through the process of socialization.
