Abstract

Osebnost je stabilna oblika vedenjskega odziva posameznika pod različnimi vplivi (sestavljena je iz vrste oblik obnašanja, ki so definirane v nekem kontekstu in času). Značaj pa definiramo kot individualne razlike v obnašanju, ki so biološko oz. genetsko determinirane. Ta dva pojma v raziskovalnem svetu pri živalih predstavljata kar nekaj ovir in zmede. Do tega prihaja, saj ju mnogo znanstvenikov pogosto kategorizira kot izraza z enakim pomenom. Ravno poznavanje osebnosti pri mačkah je ključnega pomena predvsem z vidika vnosa živali v neko novo družino. To ima pomembno vlogo predvsem v zavetiščih, kjer se trenutno mačke oddajajo v veliki meri zgolj na podlagi videza in spola. Z boljšim poznavanjem osebnosti lahko izboljšamo tudi odnos do svojih hišnih ljubljenk in jim zagotovimo boljše pogoje za življenje. Glavna sprememba, ki so jo živali pridobile med procesom udomačevanja, je poslušnost in krotkost (to je hkrati privedlo do nekaterih anatomskih sprememb, ki jih je mogoče opaziti pri udomačenih živalih). Glavna značilnost, ki so jo dosedanje študije odkrile, je, da prihaja do največ odstopanj v osebnostih lastnostih med pasmami. To kaže na to, da genetika predstavlja pomemben dejavnik pri izoblikovanju osebnosti. V študijah so nadalje potrdili, da so pasemske mačke veliko bolj samozavestne, aktivne, igrive, prijazne, radovedne, kot ne-pasemske mačke. Do zdaj najpogosteje uporabljeni metodi preverjanja osebnosti pri mačkah sta metoda uporabe anketnih vprašalnikov (uporabljajo se za ocenjevanje osebnostnih lastnosti s strani veterinarjev ali vse pogosteje tudi s strani lastnikov živali) ter metoda uporabe testov obnašanj (vključuje ocenjevanje osebnostnih lastnosti na podlagi pregleda obnašanja živali pod določenimi vplivi, npr. približevanje neznane osebe)

Secondary title:	Methods to assess personality in cats
Secondary abstract:	Personality is a stable form of behavioural response of an individual under various influences (it consists of a set of behaviours defined in a particular context and time). Temperament is defined as individual differences in behaviour that are biological or genetic. These two concepts encounter some obstacles and confusion in animal research. This is because many scientists often classify them as terms with the same meaning. Knowing the personality of cats is crucial, especially when an animal is to be adopted into a new family. This would be especially important in animal shelters, where cats are currently given away mainly based on their appearance and gender. By getting to know their personalities better, we can also improve our attitude towards our pets and offer them better living conditions. The most important change that animals underwent during domestication is obedience and tameness (this has also led to a number of other anatomical changes that are unique to domesticated animals). The most important feature that previous studies have found is that the greatest differences in personal characteristics are precisely between breeds. This suggests that genetics is an important factor in the expression of personality. Studies have also confirmed that pedigree cats are much more confident, active, playful, friendly and curious than non-pedigree cats. The most commonly used methods of personality assessment in cats to date are questionnaires (used by veterinarians or, more commonly, by pet owners to assess personality traits) and the method of behavioural testing (which involves assessing personality traits by behaviourally testing animals in certain situations, such as approaching an unfamiliar person etc.)
