Anecdotal evidence has accumulated from research and animal care personnel regarding the aggressive behavior reported in captive rhesus macaques originating in China. In this study, we compared neonatal temperament, activity, and neuromotor reflexes in 13 Chinese-Indian hybrid and 29 Indian-derived nursery-reared infants. Neonatal assessments were conducted on days 7, 14, 21, and 30, using a test based on the Brazelton Neonatal Assessment Scale developed for use in human newborns. Hybrid infants had lower scores for all items pertaining to orientation and ability to sustain attention. They were also rated as more temperamentally reactive and irritable than the Indian-derived infants. These results suggest that constitutional factors may underlie some of the behavioral differences observed in Chinese- and Indian-origin adults and that these qualities emerge very early in life.
来自研究人员和动物护理人员的轶事证据表明，圈养的原产于中国的恒河猴存在攻击行为。在这项研究中，我们比较了13只中印混血和29只印度产的保育饲养婴儿的新生儿气质、活动和神经运动反射。在第7、14、21和30天进行新生儿评估，使用基于为人类新生儿开发的布雷泽尔顿新生儿评估量表的测试。混血婴儿在所有与定向和持续注意力能力相关的项目上得分较低。他们也被评为比印度产婴儿更易激惹。这些结果表明，体质因素可能是中国和印度成年个体行为差异的基础，并且这些特质在生命早期就已出现。
