Individual leadership and boldness in shoals of golden shiners (Notemigonus crysoleucas) (2006, unknown): “However, some studies have also found that boldness or personality traits can be generalized from one context to another (e.g., Beauchamp, 2000; Ward et al., 2004; Svartberg et al., 2005), suggesting the existence of behavioural syndromes (Sih et al.”
Personality and performance in military working dogs: Reliability and predictive validity of behavioral tests (2010, methodology): “…as extraversion, sociability, aggressiveness, neuroticism, and curiosity/fearlessness over test periods from 1 to 6 months (Netto and Planta, 1997; Svartberg et al., 2005; Ley et al., 2009), but in other studies of guide dogs tested over a 6 month period test–retest correlations for…”
Dog and owner characteristics affecting the dog–owner relationship (2014, background): “These 5 dog personality traits show consistency across breed groups (Svartberg and Forkman, 2002), and individual personality differences show consistency over time in repeated tests (Svartberg et al., 2005).”
Boldness and behavioral syndromes in the bluegill sunfish, Lepomis macrochirus (2009, background): “2005), mammals (Réale and Festa-Bianchet 2003; Svartberg et al. 2005; Dochtermann and Jenkins 2007), reptiles (Lopez et al.”
Evaluating the temperament in shelter dogs (2005, background): “Although there is no general agreement on that definition among animal researchers, some of whom prefer the term ‘personality’ (see for example Svartberg et al., 2005 vs Serpell & Hsu, 2001), it is widely recognised that within vertebrate species, individuals vary along an axis, the extremes of…”
Are there differences between behavioral measurement methods? A comparison of the predictive validity of two ratings methods in a working dog program (2012, unknown): “Aggression has also been found to be largely independent of other personality traits in other studies (Svartberg, 2002; Svartberg et al., 2005).”
A critical review of fear tests used on cattle, pigs, sheep, poultry and horses. (2007, background): “…well be an oversimplification, for e.g. domestic dogs there are a number of examples of both differing behavior and physiological patterns depending on the fear eliciting response [170], as well as different fears which do not correlate with each other but which are internally consistent [171,172].”
Breed-typical behaviour in dogs—Historical remnants or recent constructs? (2006, unknown): “These traits have been found to be stable over repeated tests (Svartberg et al., 2005) and have, with the exception of the aggressiveness trait, been validated against data from Working dog trials (Svartberg, 2002) and from owner reports of behaviour in everyday life (Svartberg, 2005).”
