GENETIC AND SOCIAL CAUSES OF AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOUR IN MICE
Abstract
L agerspetz, K irsti. Genetic and social causes of aggressive behaviour in mice. Scand. J. Psychol., 1961, 2, 167—‐173.—Significant differences in the aggressiveness of mice selected for aggressiveness and non‐aggressiveness have been found to occur in the 2nd and 3rd generation of selective breeding. In Sa, motor activity scores were significantly higher in mice of the aggressive than of the non‐aggressive strain. Defecation and ambulation scores obtained both in a standardized open‐field test and in connection with the aggression measurements showed that the S 3 descendants of the aggressive mice were emotionally less reactive than the members of the 3rd non‐aggressive generation. Defeats tend to decrease, victories to increase the level of aggressiveness in mice, but the aggression scores tend to return to the original level after the termination of the experiments.

The Finland and Holland lines were selectively bred based on a single behavioral criterion, either increased aggression toward non-aggressive mice or decreased attack latency toward intruder mice.
“Considering that the Finland and Holland lines were selectively bred based on a single behavioral criterion, either increased aggression toward non-aggressive mice [40] or decreased attack latency toward intruder mice [41]”

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.
