This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Maintaining caged monkeys in pairs or small groups is an important part of the behavioral management plan of the Oregon National Primate Research Center. However, forming pairs is time consuming, and the monkeys are not always compatible. Finding factors that may predict whether a pair is compatible would aid greatly to the process of forming pairs. Further, while pair housing is typically thought to be less stressful than living alone in a cage, some monkeys in biomedical research facilities do not appear to be compatible with others, and may do better in single cages with alternate forms of enrichment. The goal of this study was to investigate whether temperament has any effect on pairing success. We also tested the hypothesis that for some monkeys, being individually caged may not be any more stressful than living in a pair.

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 把笼子里的猴子成对或小群饲养是俄勒冈州国家灵长类动物研究中心行为管理计划的重要组成部分。 然而，结对很耗时，而且猴子并不总是兼容的。 找到可以预测一对是否相容的因素将大大有助于形成配对的过程。 此外，虽然成对的住房通常被认为比单独生活在笼子里的压力小，但生物医学研究设施中的一些猴子似乎与其他猴子不相容，并且在具有替代形式的富集的单个笼子中可能做得更好。 本研究的目的是调查是否气质对配对成功有任何影响。 我们还验证了一个假设，即对于一些猴子来说，单独关在笼子里可能不会比成对生活更有压力。
