한국판 C-BARQ(S)로 측정한 반려견 행동문제 — 예비 검증 연구

This study aimed to evaluate the construct validity and applicability of Revised January 11, 2026 Accepted January 15, 2026 the Korean-translated version of C-BARQ(S) as a measurement tool for assessing canine behavioral patterns in Korea. In total, 142 dog owners (78.2% female; *Correspondence: Shin-Ho Lee average dog age 6.48 ± 4.27 years) from across Korea responded to the survey, hovet519@tu.ac.kr which included 42 C-BARQ(S) items and demographic questions. After excluding Funding This study was conducted as part two items with >25% missing responses and five inappropriately loaded items, of the 2023 Culture Technology R&D Project funded by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and exploratory factor analysis was conducted on 35 items, extracting 10 factors— Tourism and the Korea Creative Content Agency energy level, social aggression, social fear, owner-directed aggression, sensitivity, (Project Title: Development and Application of chasing, inappropriate elimination, excitability, trainability, and attachment/ Second Life Using Pet Digital-Twin Based on Real Pet, Project Number: RS-2023-00227775). attention-seeking—that together explained 71% of the variance. Cronbach’s alpha for internal reliability was ≥0.70 for all but “excitability” (0.659). Logistic regression revealed: dogs under 2 years were 64.605 times more likely to show high energy level (OR = 64.61, CI = 5.72-729.81), small dogs (<10 kg) showed pronounced attachment (OR = 7.74, CI = 1.60-37.32), owner-cognition of behavioral problems were strongly associated with social aggression (OR = 4.05, CI = 1.04-15.80). The findings support the construct validity of the Korean-translated C-BARQ(S) and provide preliminary evidence on behavioral patterns within the surveyed population.
