Abstract


A survey was carried out among high school students in Jasz-Nagykun-Szolnok County, Hungary. The aim of the work was to get information on the effects of pet rabbit keeping on the development of personality of young people. Data were gathered with a questionaire in four different type high schools (n=322). The questions were focused on how can facilitate the proximity and the constant care of an animal the process of gaining knowledge and the development of mental and emotional capability. The girls were more persistent and pet rabbits had a slightly greater influence on their emotional development.
