Observations of 8 groups each containing three adult spiny mice (Acomys cahirinus) revealed that instances of chasing and physical displacement were quite common, while fighting and biting were rarely observed. The relationships between the most frequent behavioral categories were presented in a correlation matrix. In a second study, females tested in their home cages were dominant over males. In the males' home cages, however, no differences in the frequency of female vs. male aggression were observed. More instances of aggression were observed in the cages of the females than in the cages of the males.
对8组每组三只成年刺毛鼠（埃及刺毛鼠）的观察发现，追逐和身体位移的情况相当常见，而打斗和撕咬则很少见。最常见行为类别之间的关系呈现在一个相关矩阵中。在第二项研究中，在其家笼中接受测试的雌性比雄性占主导地位。然而，在雄性的家笼中，未观察到雌性与雄性攻击频率的差异。在雌性的笼子中观察到的攻击实例比在雄性的笼子中更多。
