在两个实验中考察了从属关系和攻击性之间的关系。在第一项研究中，12只雄性白化病大鼠中的每一只都被允许在T型迷宫中在两个选项之间进行选择。一种替代方案容纳了更具攻击性的目标男性，另一种容纳了攻击性较低的目标男性。受试者更喜欢攻击性较低的靶动物。第二项研究允许36只雄性白化病大鼠在靶动物和空隔室之间进行选择。结果是，所有受试者都倾向于与靶动物交往。然而，随着目标动物攻击性水平的增加，群居性水平下降。这些数据表明，一个重要的决定因素是行为，特别是攻击性，目标动物。
The relationship between affiliation and aggression was examined in two experiments. In the first study, each of 12 male albino rats was allowed to choose in a T-maze between two alternatives. One alternative housed a more aggressive target male and the other housed a less aggressive target male. The subjects preferred the less aggressive target animal. A second investigation allowed each of 36 male albino rats to choose between a target animal and an empty compartment. The results were that all the subjects preferred to affiliate with the target animal. However, as the level of aggressiveness by the target animal increased, the level of gregariousness decreased. The data suggest that an important determinant of affiliation is the behavior, and specifically the aggressiveness, of the target animal.
