It has been suggested that self-injurious behavior (SIB) is related to aggression. We have found that monkeys with SIB threaten, aggress, and vocalize more and show fewer submitting postures than controls. Furthermore, these threats are significantly associated with episodes in which the monkeys bite themselves. These findings do not answer the question as to whether behavioral activity from other monkeys (e.g., threats) serve as a trigger for SIB. The purpose of this study was to expose monkeys to slide images depicting a variety of monkey behaviors including threats, and determine how these exposures influence SIB. Subjects were 21 individually housed adult male rhesus monkeys (13 with a veterinary record of SIB and 8 controls). During the two sessions of slide presentation, monkeys were exposed to 12 slides. Each slide was on screen for a 15-sec. period followed by a 1-minute interslide interval. The reaction of the subjects was recorded, and observers were blind to the slide sequence. All monkeys attended to the slides and showed a higher duration of looking during the slide period than during the interslide interval. Slide type had no effect on the levels of self-biting or pacing. Therefore, either monkeys are able to distinguish two-dimensional images from real life actions or they are seemingly unaffected

有人认为，自伤行为(SIB)是 与攻击性有关。我们发现，患有SIB的猴子威胁说， 进攻性，发声更多，屈从姿势更少 控制。此外，这些威胁与 有猴子咬自己的插曲。这些发现确实 没有回答关于来自其他人的行为活动是否 猴子(例如，威胁)是SIB的触发因素。目的 这项研究是为了让猴子观看描绘各种不同图像的幻灯片 包括威胁在内的猴子行为，并确定这些行为 暴露会影响SIB。受试者是21名独立居住的成年人 雄性恒河猴(13只有SIB兽医记录，8只 控制)。在两个幻灯片演示环节中，猴子 被暴露在12张幻灯片中。每张幻灯片在屏幕上播放的时间为15秒。 时间间隔为1分钟。反作用力 受试者被记录下来，观察者对幻灯片视而不见 序列。所有猴子都观看了幻灯片，并表现出更高的 在滑动期内观看的持续时间比在滑动期内的观看时间长 时间间隔。滑动类型对自咬或自咬的水平没有影响 快步走。因此，无论是猴子还是猴子都能分辨 来自真实生活行为的二维图像，或者它们看起来 未受影响
