Table 3.
Associations of enrichment frequency and diversity. The associations from 2 general linear models on the provision of enrichment (proportion of time and diversity) based on respondent reports (n = 1,098). Participants were asked about the independent variables of social support, animal stress/pain, euthanasia, enrichment, human-animal interactions, and demographic, and work factors. F: F-statistic. (+): the continuous factor has a positive association with the dependent variable. (−): the continuous factor has a negative association with the dependent variable. Bold indicates a significant effect. n/a: the factor was not applicable in the model
