[Effect of emotionality, exploratory activity and pain sensitivity on manifestation of agonistic behavior in the mouse].

Mice of C57BL/6J line with higher exploratory and motor activities and with lower emotionality and pain threshold recorded in standard tests, as compared with the animals of CBA/Lac line, have also been found to manifest a more expressed aggression in their intermale contacts in reaction to a syngeneous partner. It is suggested that the studied physiological and behavioural parameters may determine in considerable degree the character of aggressive and submissive mice behaviour in an agonistic interaction.
