一项新的研究发现,盯着狗看可能会给他们造成压力,对眼神接触会增强纽带的观念提出挑战。 A new study finds that staring at dogs may stress them, challenging the idea that eye contact strengthens bonds.

2025年10月13日发表的一份新研究报告指出,与狗的直接眼神接触可能会对某些动物造成压力,对狗群交流的共同看法构成挑战。 A new study published on October 13, 2025, suggests that direct eye contact with dogs may cause stress in some animals, challenging common beliefs about canine communication. 研究人员观察到接触人类长期眼睛接触的狗的行为变化,注意到更多的焦虑迹象,例如避免凝视、舔嘴唇和尾巴。 Researchers observed behavioral changes in dogs exposed to prolonged eye contact from humans, noting increased signs of anxiety such as averting gaze, lip licking, and tail tucking. 调查结果表明,虽然眼神接触在某些情况下可以加强联系,但也可能被视为威胁。 The findings indicate that while eye contact can strengthen bonds in certain contexts, it may also be perceived as threatening. 专家们建议避免紧盯着眼睛,而是用软视线促进积极互动。 Experts recommend avoiding intense staring and instead using soft glances to foster positive interactions. 该研究增加了越来越多的证据,表明了解动物行为需要重新评价人类关于非语言暗示的假设。 The study adds to growing evidence that understanding animal behavior requires reevaluating human assumptions about nonverbal cues.
