概括
一个修改后的犬行为评估和研究问卷 (C-BARQ) 被开发出来,以更好地评估工作的嗅觉探测犬. 工作犬犬行为评估和研究问卷 (WDC-BARQ) 现在包括玩和冲动等因素.
科学领域:
- 狗的行为和工作犬科学.
背景情况:
- 有效的气味检测犬有很高的需求,需要可靠的性能评估工具.
- 使用犬行为评估和研究问卷 (C-BARQ),但它是为物狗设计的,缺乏特定的工作狗特征.
- 对于工作犬成功至关重要的关键行为表型需要测量.
研究的目的:
- 检查工作犬修改的C-BARQ的因子结构,可靠性和有效性.
- 结合与工作犬性能相关的新行为领域.
- 为了提高对专门工作角色的狗行为评估.
主要方法:
- 对所有者/处理者问卷答复进行了探索性因子分析 (EFA).
- 研究样本包括1117只工作的气味检测犬.
- 开发了一个修改后的C-BARQ,包括新的行为领域.
主要成果:
- 探索性因素分析确定了15个因素.
- 十个因素与原来的C-BARQ保持一致.
- 确定了五个新的因素:玩,冲动,分心,巴索恐惧症和食物焦点.
结论:
- 工作犬犬行为评估和研究问卷 (WDC-BARQ) 实际上扩展了原来的C-BARQ.
- 在WDC-BARQ测量行为维度对工作犬种群至关重要.
- 这种增强的工具改善了对专门工作犬的评估.

Behavioral approaches have often been criticized for ignoring mental processes and focusing solely on observable behavior. However, these approaches provide an optimistic perspective for individuals seeking to change their behaviors. Rather than concentrating on intrinsic personality traits, behavioral approaches suggest that even longstanding habits can be modified by changing the reward contingencies that maintain them.

The field of behaviorism was pioneered by figures such as Ivan Pavlov, John B. Watson, and B.F. Skinner fundamentally shifted the focus of psychology to the observable and controllable aspects of human and animal behavior. This shift marked a critical evolution in the discipline, emphasizing scientific rigor and experimental methodology.
