The interactions between isolated resident mice and anosmic, juvenile, submissive and dominant intruders were studied; the responses of intruder mice to being attacked and the distribution of bites on these subjects were investigated. Anosmic, juvenile and (trained) submissive intruders did not attack residents; they did, however, show differences both in thir responses to being attacked and their ability to avoid bites to particular regions of their body surface. These differences are likely to make it difficult to extrapolate between tests that employ different types of intruder. Trained dominant intruders showed substantial attack on resident mice and a very different pattern of attack was generated by this type of encounter. The study confirms that, while "standard opponents" are useful means of assessing aggressive motivation, the pattern of fighting they produce differs depending on their background.
研究了隔离饲养的小鼠与嗅觉缺失、幼年、顺从和占主导地位的入侵者之间的相互作用；调查了入侵者小鼠在受到攻击时的反应以及这些实验对象身上咬伤的分布情况。嗅觉缺失、幼年和（经过训练的）顺从入侵者不会攻击饲养小鼠；然而，它们在受到攻击时的反应以及避免身体特定部位被咬伤的能力方面都存在差异。这些差异可能使得在使用不同类型入侵者的测试之间进行推断变得困难。经过训练的占主导地位的入侵者对饲养小鼠表现出大量攻击行为，并且这种类型的遭遇产生了非常不同的攻击模式。该研究证实，虽然“标准对手”是评估攻击动机的有用手段，但它们产生的战斗模式因其背景而异。
