A samle of 130 third through sixth graders form a range of socio economic backgrounds were selected based on whether they were pet owners and nonpet owners.

Higher autonomy was reported in pet owners across all grades on the perceives parents as people subscale of autonomy measure. Sixth grade pet owners reported higher self concept and pet - owning fifth and sixth raders reported higher self - esteem.
