Rabbit Owner Questionnaire
We are currently looking into research relating to human-rabbit interactions in my spare time. As part of an overall study on human attitudes towards animals carried out in collaboration with Dr Elodie Briefer, I would like to investigate the occurrence and frequency of talking to rabbits and how this relates to human personality. If you own a rabbit and are interested in taking part in this study, then please fill in this questionnaire. This questionnaire should only take approximately 10 - 15 minutes to complete.
Should you have any questions, concerns, or would like to be informed of the aggregate research findings please contact James Oxley via email: James_oxley1@hotmail.com
