The Translation and Validation of the Dutch Monash Dog–Owner Relationship Scale (MDORS)

Abstract: The Monash Dog–Owner Relationship Scale (MDORS) is a questionnaire that is used to evaluate the perceived relationship between humans and their dog. This questionnaire was originally only formulated and validated in English, which limits its use among non-English speaking individuals. Although a translation could be made, the translation of questionnaires without additional validation often impairs the reliability of that questionnaire. Therefore, the aim of this study was to validate a translation of the MDOR… Show more

“…Moreover, when testing the subscales for internal reliability they found Cronbach’s α values that were well below acceptable levels (POI = 0.43, PEC = 0.19, PC = 0.19). As van Houtert et al [ 21 ] suggest in their study, these findings highlight the importance of a thorough assessment of the validity and reliability of the MDORS when translated to new languages and targeting people from different cultures.…”

“…loaded just below the cut-off point in the PEC factor. In a previous study by Van Houtern et al [ 21 ] this item caused interpretative issues as it loaded on POI rather than the original PEC.
