Ososayensi baseNyuvesi yaseVirginia, eU.SA, bathole ukuthi ukufuya izinja kuyasiza ekwandiseni amasosha omzimba, kubika indawo yesikhungo semfundo.
Ababhali bahlaziye idatha evela ezifundweni zangaphambilini futhi bafinyelela esiphethweni sokuthi ukuxhumana kwesikhashana nezinja kunomphumela onenzuzo esimweni somzimba womuntu.
Isibonelo, izinga le-hormone yokucindezeleka i-cortisol lehla kubantu ngemizuzu engu-5-20 nje enkampanini yenja. Abacwaningi baphinde babika ukwanda kwezinga le-oxytocin, i-hormone ekhuthaza isimo sengqondo esihle. Lokhu kunomthelela ekwenzeni ngcono ukungatheleleki kanye nempilo yesimiso sezinzwa. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kwenzeka okufanayo ngezilwane ezifuywayo.
Ubunikazi bezinja bubuye buhlotshaniswe nempilo yenhliziyo ethuthukisiwe, ukwanda kokuzivocavoca umzimba kanye nempilo engcono engokwengqondo: isilwane esifuywayo sinikeza ubungane kanye nomthombo wokuzinza ekuphileni, futhi senza abanikazi baso bazizwe bethandwa.
Ababhali bohlelo lwamanje locwaningo lokwenza izifundo ezengeziwe esikhathini esizayo ukuze bafakazele iziphetho zabo kumasampuli amakhulu.
Futhi, izinja ziyakwazi ukuzwa lapho abanikazi bazo bebhekene nesikhathi esinzima futhi bacindezeleke. Abacwaningi baseSweden bafinyelele lesi siphetho ngemva kokucwaninga abantu abangu-58 ababene-Border Collies noma i-Shetland Sheepdogs.
Ososayensi bahlola izinwele zabantu nezinja zabo ngokubheka amazinga e-hormone i-cortisol, ekhishelwa egazini ukuphendula ukucindezeleka futhi imuncwe ama-follicle ezinwele.
U-Lina Roth nethimba lakhe e-Linkoping University bathola i-synchrony emazingeni e-cortisol abantu nezinja zabo, ebusika nasehlobo. Ochwepheshe abakwazi ukuchaza isizathu. Basikisela ukuthi kusebuhlotsheni obakha phakathi komuntu nomngane wakhe omkhulu.
Izinja “zingenwa igciwane” ngenxa yokucindezeleka komnikazi wazo, ngoba udlala indima enkulu ekuphileni kwazo. Abantu banganciphisa ukucindezeleka kwezilwane ezifuywayo ngokudlala nazo kakhulu, kweluleka ososayensi.
