Seven open-field measures (defecation, ambulation, urination, washing, rearing, latency and inner circle activity) were obtained using a number of different scoring methods for albino and hooded rats. The validity of these measures was examined using (a) day by day decrease of open-field behaviour, (b) effects of retesting over a period of time, (c) variation of stimulus intensity (light and noise). It was found that methods a and b did not provide satisfactory validity estimates. Method c indicated that defecation and latency can be accepted as valid indices of emotionality in rats.
