三个实验评估了社会地位对成年雄性达拉宾猴子(Miopithecus Talapoin)社会性行为和内分泌状态的影响。在第一项研究中，五只雄性中的每一只被单独放入一组成年雌性中。无论是行为反应，还是血浆睾酮、皮质醇或催乳素水平，都不能预测随后将所有男性与这些女性放在一起时男性的排名或激素水平。在第二项研究中，四个混合性别的社会群体中的每一个都连续生活在一个大笼子里，时间从9个月到15个月不等。排名最高和排名最低的男性在行为和荷尔蒙水平上存在显著差异。在第三项研究中，这些群体中排名最高和最低的男性被单独与女性放在一起。长期(9-15个月)处于社会从属地位的男性表现出不频繁的性行为，并且皮质醇和催乳素水平升高。这些结果表明，长期的社会从属经历是男性随后行为的有力预测，因为即使在占主导地位的男性被移除后，从属的内分泌和行为影响仍然存在。
Three experiments assessed the consequences of social status for the socio-sexual behaviour and endocrine state of adult male talapoin monkeys (Miopithecus talapoin). In the first study, each of five males was individually placed into a group of adult females. Neither behavioural responses, nor plasma levels of testosterone, cortisol, or prolactin, predicted males'' rank or hormone levels when all males were subsequently placed with these females. In the second study, each of four mixed-sex social groups lived continuously in a large cage for periods ranging from 9-15 months. There were marked differences between the behaviour and hormone levels of highest- and lowest-ranking males. In the third study, each highest- and lowest-ranking male from these groups was individually placed with females. Males that had experienced social subordination for long periods (9-15 months) showed infrequent sexual behaviour and had elevated levels of cortisol and prolactin. These results indicate that the experience of chronic social subordination is a strong predictor of how males will subsequently behave, since both the endocrine and behavioural effects of subordination persist even after the dominant males are removed.
