马可以嗅到人类的恐惧, 并随着焦虑的加剧而反应, 一项新的研究发现。 Horses can smell human fear and react with increased anxiety, a new study finds.

马可以通过气味探测到人类的恐惧。 SPLOS One发表的一份新研究揭示了这一点。 Horses can detect human fear through scent, a new study published in PLOS One reveals. 当马接触观看恐怖录像的人的汗水时,与接触快乐或中立状态的汗水相比,马表现出更多的恐惧反应,例如开始容易,避开人,对突然的噪音作出强烈反应。 When exposed to sweat from people who watched scary videos, horses showed increased fear responses—such as starting easily, avoiding people, and reacting strongly to sudden noises—compared to when exposed to sweat from joyful or neutral states. 研究结果表明,马匹通过化身信号,甚至没有视觉或听觉提示,感觉到人类的情绪状态,这突显了在人与马的互动中情感调节的重要性。 The findings indicate horses sense human emotional states via chemosignals, even without visual or auditory cues, highlighting the importance of emotional regulation in human-horse interactions.
