由11只恒河猴组成的小组被选为接近一个小的自然群体，他们被允许建立一个社会组织，并在一个特别设计的院落中生活在最小的干扰下。对各种社会活动和个人活动进行了观察，并对喂养进行了一些操纵，以获得特定的行为模式。获得了关于小组每个成员活动频率的定量数据。根据观察到的活动模式，个体动物被发现属于亚组分类。这种角色分化是一致的，尽管在一些个体中观察到了微小的变化。这些亚群与大小和性别的形态划分相对应，但地位也有助于角色的分化。对占主导地位的男性的作用进行了详细的分析，发现它可以取代简单的先发制人的激励措施。对小组中其他明显不同的角色进行了不太详细的分析。
A group of 11 rhesus monkeys selected to approximate a small natural group were allowed to establish a social organization and to live with minimal disturbance in a specially designed compound. Observations were made on a variety of social and individual activities with some manipulation of feeding used to get at specific behavior patterns. Quantitative data on the frequency of activities for each member of the group was obtained. Individual animals were found to fall into subgroup classification in terms of activity patterns observed. This role differentiation was consistent despite minor modifications observed in some individuals. The subgroups correspond by the large to morphological divisions of size and sex, but status also contributed to the differentiation of roles. The role of the dominant male was analyzed in detail and found to supercede that of simple preempting of incentives. Less elaborate analyses were made for other clearly differentiated roles in the group.
