Loneliness and Belief

quote:

test their expectations that lonely people are more likely to make up for their lack of social connection by creating humanlike connections with gadgets or pets {emphasis mine}

I find that point interesting. In my experience lonely people are more likely to project anthropomorphic ideas onto their pets. Don't get me wrong, I like animals, but I do think that the lonelier someone is, the more likely they are to regard their pets as little furry people.
