众所周知，非人灵长类动物的亲缘关系的形成受到亲属关系、等级和性别的影响，但这些因素并不能完全解释观察到的灵长类动物社会关系的变化。性情的个体差异有许多重要的行为和生理关联，可能会影响关系的形成。我们在加州国家灵长类动物研究中心对57只一岁的恒河猴进行了为期10周的观察，以确定气质的个体差异是否与同伴间建立的亲密关系的数量和质量有关。在90-120日龄的全群落生物行为评估中，受试者的气质特征已经被量化。在“平等性”（表现出冷静和低水平的身体活动）方面得分高的一岁幼崽，与在这一维度上得分低的动物相比，同伴关系更少。此外，一岁的幼崽倾向于与在平等性和适应性方面与自己相似的同伴为伴（反映了受试者在生物行为评估中表现出的行为灵活性程度）。尽管亲属关系、等级和性别如预期的那样影响了关系的形成，但即使在控制了这些变量之后，气质仍然是关系偏好的重要预测因子。我们的研究结果表明，气质是群体生活灵长类动物附属关系形成变化的近似决定因素。
Affiliative relationship formation in nonhuman primates is known to be influenced by kinship, rank, and sex, but such factors do not fully explain observed variation in primate social relations. Individual differences in temperament have a number of important behavioural and physiological correlates that might influence relationship formation. We observed 57 yearling rhesus macaques at the California National Primate Research Center for 10 weeks to determine whether individual differences in temperament relate to the number and quality of affiliative relationships formed with peers. Subjects’ temperament characteristics had previously been quantified during a colony-wide biobehavioural assessment at 90–120 days of age. Yearlings that had scored high on Equability (demonstrating calmness and low levels of physical activity) as infants had fewer peer relationships compared to animals low on this dimension. Additionally, yearlings preferentially affiliated with peers that were similar to themselves in Equability as well as in Adaptability (reflecting the degree of behavioural flexibility that subjects displayed during the biobehavioural assessment). Although kinship, rank, and sex influenced relationship formation as expected, temperament remained a significant predictor of affiliative preferences even after controlling for these variables. Our findings suggest that temperament is a proximate determinant of variation in affiliative relationship formation in group-living primates.
