This study examines factors influencing the attack on a metal target by laboratory 'TO' strain mice confined within a narrow perspex tube and contrasts this form of behaviour with attack seen in less equivocal forms of 'aggression test'. The effects of sex, housing condition, reproductive experience, density, anosmia and castration (in the male) were systematically examined. This 'model' of 'aggression' shows few parallels with social conflict, parental defense and electroshock-induced forms of attack as none of the above manipulations influenced the level of target biting in this situation. Thus, in spite of claims that tube restraint-induced attack may show parallels with intermale aggression, the data suggest that it involves a totally different motivation.
本研究考察了限制在狭窄有机玻璃管内的实验室“TO”品系小鼠对金属目标发动攻击的影响因素，并将这种行为形式与在较明确的“攻击测试”形式中观察到的攻击行为进行对比。系统研究了性别、饲养条件、繁殖经历、密度、嗅觉丧失和去势（雄性）的影响。这种“攻击”模型与社会冲突、亲代防御和电击诱导的攻击形式几乎没有相似之处，因为上述任何一种操作都不会影响这种情况下对目标的撕咬程度。因此，尽管有人声称管内束缚诱导的攻击可能与雄性间攻击有相似之处，但数据表明其涉及完全不同的动机。
