Current challenges to research on animal-assisted interventions
TL;DR: This paper proposed theoretical processes for the effects of animal-assisted interventions (AAIs) including those that address primarily the animal's ability to facilitate human-human social engagement, those that emphasize animals' apparent capacity to trigger social attachments and provide nonhuman social support, those categorize certain animals as supernormal stimuli, those advancing a biophilia hypothesis that living organisms have an innate ability to attract and hold human attention, and those that promote an integrative biopsychosocial model.

The theory of planned behavior
TL;DR: Ajzen, 1985, 1987, this article reviewed the theory of planned behavior and some unresolved issues and concluded that the theory is well supported by empirical evidence and that intention to perform behaviors of different kinds can be predicted with high accuracy from attitudes toward the behavior, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control; and these intentions, together with perceptions of behavioral control, account for considerable variance in actual behavior.
