Resumen
La escala Monash de relación del dueño con su perro evalúa la percepción del dueño del vínculo con su perro y es ampliamente utilizada en las investigaciones del área. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue validar una versión en español de la escala con una población argentina. Para ello se administró la escala junto a una encuesta demográfica, tanto a través de internet como de manera presencial, a 1703 personas. En primer lugar, los ítems se agruparon en tres componentes principales tal como se observó en la estructura factorial de la versión original de la escala. En segundo lugar, hallamos que la forma de administración influye en los resultados ya que la personas que respondieron por internet refirieron sentirse más cercanas a sus perros y percibieron como menos costoso su mantenimiento que las que contestaron presencialmente. En tercer lugar, hubo diversas asociaciones con características demográficas: las personas que viven solas interactúan más con su perro, aquellas sin hijos reportaron una mayor interacción y cercanía emocional, los perros castrados y las hembras son percibidos como más costosos y las personas con vínculos más añejos con sus perros se sienten más cercanas emocionalmente a ellos, aunque interactúan menos. En conclusión, la presente versión de la escala resulta valida y sensible para detectar diferencias individuales respecto de la percepción de la relación de los dueños con sus perros.
The dogs-owners’ relationship Monash scale, which evaluates the owner's perception of the bond with his dog, is a widely used tool in the studies about dog human interactions. The objective of this work was to validate a Spanish version of the scale with an Argentine population. To this end, the scale was administered together with a demographic survey, both through the Internet and face-to-face, to 1703 people. First, we found evidence that confirm the three components’ factor structure of the original scale. Secondly, we found that the administration form influences the results. Since people who responded online reported being emotionally closer to their dogs and perceived its maintenance as less than those who answered in person. Third, there were several associations between dog and owner’s characteristics and the scores of the scale: people who live alone interact more with their dogs, those without children reported greater interaction and emotional closeness, castrated and female dogs are perceived as more costly and people who own a dog for longer time feel emotionally closer to them even though they interact less whit their dog. In conclusion, the present version of the scale is a valid and sensitive tool to detect individual differences regarding the owners' perception of the relationship with their dogs.
