Étude des propriétés psychométriques du Questionnaire d’attachement au chien chez l’enfant
Introduction
Secure attachment to caregivers is largely recognized as a facilitator of child development. Studies among adults suggest that they may form a full-blown attachment to their pet dog, including the four key features of an attachment relationship (seeking proximity, safe haven, separation distress, secure base).
Objective
This study aimed to validate the Attachment to Dog Questionnaire for Children (ADQC), which measures these core dimensions of child-to-dog attachment.
Methods
Parents (n = 433; 94.5% mothers) of four- to seven-year-olds completed online the ADQC, along with questionnaires assessing the child's socio-emotional development, and parental reflective functioning.
Results
Exploratory factor analyses revealed that the ADQC taps two factors (proximity seeking/separation distress, secure base), each showing good internal consistency. The ADQC scores had large correlations with the Short Attachment to Pet Scale, suggesting good convergent validity. Associations were also observed between the ADQC and the child's empathy, theory of mind and emotion regulation, most of which remained significant when controlling for parental reflective functioning.
Conclusion
A strong attachment of the child to his/her pet dog could contribute to socioemotional development, beyond the parent's ability to foster such development (e.g., through adequate mentalization of the child).
