摘要：The aim of our study was to find association between the personality of owners and the personality of their dogs,assessed by their owners.Furthermore,we were interested in finding differences between dogs of different breeds.The sample included 661 owners (556 women and 105 men) and an equal number of their dogs (332 females and 329 males).The participants filled in the Big Five Inventory and slightly adopted the Big Five Inventory for dogs.The results indicated statistically significant correlations between almost all owner’s personality dimensions and personality dimensions of their dogs.Besides the influence of owners and their personalities on the dog’s personality,a possible cause of these associations could be their misevaluation as they want their dogs to have some equal characteristics as they have.Analysis of the data also revealed significant differences in dimensions between breeds in three of four dogs’ personalities.Results were partly in accordance with hypothesized differences which were based upon official descriptions of temperament of specific breeds.Despite the fact that the research confirms that owners can judge dog’s personality with satisfactory levels of accuracy,it is necessary to account all limitations of measuring dogs’ personality in interpreting the results.
其他摘要：V raziskavi nas je zanimala povezanost samoocen osebnostnih lastnosti lastnikov z njihovimi ocenami osebnostnih lastnosti njihovih psov ter razlike med psi različnih pasem v osebnostnih lastnostih.V raziskavi je sodelovalo 661 lastnikov (556 žensk in 105 moških) ter enako število njihovih psov (332 samic in 329 samcev).Udeleženci so izpolnili vprašalnik velikih petih faktorjev osebnosti BFI ter preko prirejenega vprašalnika velikih pet BFI ocenili osebnostne lastnosti svojih psov.Ugotovili smo pomembno povezanost med vsemi dimenzijami lastnikove osebnosti in osebnostnimi lastnostmi njihovih psov.Poleg možnega vplivanja lastnika s svojimi lastnostmi na lastnosti psa je možen vzrok visokih korelacij tudi napaka ocenjevanja psov s strani lastnikov,saj si le-ti lahko želijo,da so jim psi v določenih značilnostih podobni.Ugotovili smo tudi,da se psi različnih pasem razlikujejo glede na izraženost treh od štirih ocenjenih osebnostnih lastnosti.V določeni meri so te razlike med pasmami skladne z opisi,ki jih podajajo vzreditelji,pogosto pa vzreditelji podajajo tako pomanjkljive opise,da ne moremo preveriti njihove skladnosti z našimi rezultati.Kljub temu,da raziskave na splošno kažejo,da so lastniki dobri ocenjevalci lastnosti svojih psov,je zaradi teoretičnih in praktičnih problemov merjenja osebnostnih lastnosti pri psih potrebno biti previden pri interpretaciji dobljenih rezultatov.
