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. Introduction. The USDA Draft Policy on Environmental Enhancement for Nonhuman Primates has been developed to provide more specific guidelines as to what measures sufficiently address the psychological needs of captive primates, but research is needed to guide its implementation. This project is providing direct benefit to the primate well-being and management of the Tulane National Primate Research Center colony. Rhesus macaques were studied due to their widespread use in biomedicine. Focus was placed on social grouping and human interaction as enrichment. Methods. Using behavioral, physiological, and clinical data, the following were compared 1) the effects of continuous full contact, continuous protected contact (social access via barred panels), and intermittent full contact for pair-housing rhesus macaques, and 2) the effects of several quantities and forms of human/primate interaction on the behavioral well-being of singly-housed individuals of both sexes. Subjects are drawn from the following populations: those mother-reared in a social setting, those mother-reared without other social partners, and nursery-reared individuals, some with and some without peer contact in infancy. Results/Discussion. Social grouping: both continous and intermittent full contact pair housing confer similar behavioral benefits (reduced abnormal and anxiety-related behavior, increased activity level), and do not result in differences in the incidence of wounding. Fewer behavioral benefits and no differences in wounding were observed in protected contact. Less affiliation occurs in protected contact, and subjects show higher levels of anxiety-related behavior. Human interaction: unstructured interaction or low levels of positive reinforcement training produced no behavioral changes, but intensive training for subjects with severe abnormal behavior reduced levels of these behaviors. This project aims to provide the scientific underpinning for decisions relating to the changing regulatory climate governing the behavioral management of non-human primates.

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。 导论.美国农业部关于非人类灵长类动物环境改善的政策草案已经制定，以提供更具体的指导方针，说明哪些措施足以满足圈养灵长类动物的心理需求，但需要研究来指导其实施。 该项目为杜兰国家灵长类动物研究中心的灵长类动物福利和管理提供了直接利益。 由于恒河猴在生物医学中的广泛应用，因此对其进行了研究。 重点放在社会群体和人类互动丰富。 方法.使用行为、生理和临床数据，比较了以下内容：1）持续完全接触、持续保护接触（通过禁止面板进行社交访问）和间歇性完全接触对成对饲养恒河猴的影响，以及2）几种数量和形式的人类/灵长类动物相互作用对单独饲养的两性个体行为健康的影响。 受试者来自以下人群：在社会环境中由母亲抚养的人，在没有其他社会伙伴的情况下由母亲抚养的人，以及由托儿所抚养的人，有些人在婴儿期有同伴接触，有些人没有同伴接触。 结果/讨论。 社会群体：连续和间歇的完全接触对的容纳都赋予类似的行为益处（减少异常和焦虑相关的行为，增加活动水平），并且不会导致受伤发生率的差异。 在保护性接触中，观察到较少的行为益处，并且在创伤方面没有差异。 在受保护的接触中，联系较少，受试者表现出更高水平的焦虑相关行为。 人际互动：非结构化的互动或低水平的正强化训练不会产生行为变化，但对严重异常行为的受试者进行强化训练会降低这些行为的水平。 该项目旨在为有关非人灵长类动物行为管理的不断变化的监管气候的决策提供科学依据。
