Title An analysis of the limited access measure of social dominance in rats Type Journal Article
Year 1974 Publication (down) Abbreviated Journal
Volume 22 Issue 2 Pages 486-500
Keywords
Abstract The limited access situation in which only one of two or more subjects can gain access to a reward during a restricted time-period is an accepted measure of dominance in the rat. This study attempts to validate the technique by establishing the relationship between individual and competitive performance in order to determine whether `priority of access' has been measured. The generality of the competitive orders is examined by altering the competitive response while retaining the same reward. In view of the data collected for both time and weight-gain measures in food and water competition it is doubtful whether the limited access competitive technique can be considered a valid measure of dominance for the laboratory rat.

Title Competitive orders as measures of social dominance Type Journal Article
Year 1974 Publication (down) Abbreviated Journal
Volume 22 Issue Part 4 Pages 931-940
Keywords
Abstract The use of competitive orders as measures of social dominance is examined, the conclusion being that such use is based on the assumption of the unidimensionality of social dominance. Evidence is presented to show that this is not always the case. Consequently it is suggested that each competitive order must be validated in terms of its measurement of priority of access and response requirements (internal validity) as well as its generality (external validity) before it can be regarded as a dominance measure. Problems of the validity of aggression orders as measures of social dominance are also examined along with their relationship to competitive orders.

Title Primate social organisation and ecology Type Journal Article
Year 1974 Publication (down) Abbreviated Journal Nature
Volume 250 Issue 5467 Pages 539-542
Keywords
Abstract Attempts to relate interspecific differences in social organisation among primates to gross differences in habitat or diet type have been largely unsuccessful. This is probably partly because distantly related species have adapted to similar ecological situations in different ways and partly because much finer ecological differences are important.
