In this study, we are evaluating the psychometric properties (e.g., reliability, validity) of a questionnaire designed for assessing personality in dogs. Various aspects of the study involve surveying dog owners online, surveying dog owners in Austin-area dog parks, and administering a related personality and behavioral Test Battery to dogs in Austin-area dog parks.
Qualifications:
Research assistants must have their own transportation or live close to UT, be available during the last week of May and the first 3 weeks of June, and be reliable and motivated.
Duties:
Research assistants will be helping with a variety of tasks, but the majority (~90%) of work hours will be spent doing hands-on research – administering the questionnaire and temperament tests.
