Abstract

In the present study, the consequences of individual rearing during the play period on adult responses to aggression were investigated in a complex social setting. In a group of either socially or individually reared rats, an aggressor was repeatedly introduced. Separate control groups of individually and socially reared rats were not exposed to an aggressor. To allow an interpretation of the altered reactivity to aggression in terms of (in)efficient or (in)adequate behavior, not only the responses in the presence of the aggressor but also the consequences of the altered reactivity on subsequent behavior in the absence of the aggressor were observed. We demonstrated that a higher number of injuries, more agitation of the aggressor, and more ultrasonic distress vocalizations accompanied the altered responses of individually reared rats in the presence of the aggressor. In the absence of the aggressor, individually reared rats displayed less social stress‐reducing behaviors (play and social grooming) than socially reared rats. It was concluded that individually reared rats display a less adequate response to aggression in this social context. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Dev Psychobiol 41: 58–69, 2002.

  • Animals prevented from playing during the juvenile age exhibit reduced social behavior and inappropriate response to social challenge.

    “This idea is supported by play deprivation studies, in which animals prevented from playing during the juvenile age exhibit reduced social behavior and inappropriate response to social challenge (Hol et al., 1999; van den Berg et al., 1999; Von Frijtag et al,. 2002; Stark & Pellis in this Special Issue).”

  • In challenging social situations, such as an encounter with an aggressive animal, play-deprived animals are less able to use appropriate social signals to manage conflict.

    “previous studies have shown that in challenging social situations, such as in an encounter with an aggressive animal, play-deprived animals are less able to use the appropriate social signals to manage conflict (Van den Berg et al. 1999a, b, c; Von Frijtag et al. 2002).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
