Squirrel monkeys were periodically exposed to brief tail-shocks in the presence of a rubber tube connected to a pneumatic switch. Biting attack upon this tube was found to be a decreasing function of time since shock delivery and a direct function of shock intensity and duration. These results parallel findings in investigations employing more "naturalistic" social situations, indicating that attack against the inanimate and animate environment is a direct function of the intensity of an aversive stimulus. The results also demonstrate that frequency of biting attack as a datum is sensitive to several experimental manipulations.
松鼠猴在连接有气动开关的橡胶管存在的情况下,会定期受到短暂的尾部电击。研究发现,自电击施加后,对该橡胶管的撕咬攻击是时间的递减函数,且是电击强度和持续时间的直接函数。这些结果与在采用更“自然主义”社会情境的调查中的发现相似,表明对无生命和有生命环境的攻击是厌恶刺激强度的直接函数。结果还表明,作为一个数据的撕咬攻击频率对几种实验操作很敏感。
