Sexual Preference and Altruism
Several hypothesis have been offered to explain homosexuality. This study tests the prediction of the sociobiological model that male homosexuals should be more altruistic than heterosexuals. Subjects were dichotomized into homosexual (N = 76) and heterosexual (N = 51) groups on the basis of self-reported sexual feelings and behaviors. Both groups provided demographic information and completed Hogan's Scale. As predicted, the homosexuals were fou…
Discrimination of Salivary Olfactants by Male Mesocricetus Auratus
Salivary secretions of rodents have been observed to play an important role during various developmental periods. The present study examined the nature of adult salivary olfactants in regard to behavioral interactions. The ability of 12 adult male hamsters to detect and respond differentially to salivary stimuli from dominant and submissive males and a diestrous female was assessed. Air-borne stimuli were injected into an open-field, free-choice …
Discrimination of Male Social Status by Female Hamsters
This study was conducted to determine whether urinary ol-factants were capable of communicating information about a male's dominance status to females. Voided urine was collected from pairs of dominant and subordinate males. These odors were simultaneously presented to females in a Y-maze olfactometer. Females in estrus spent more time in proximity to the area infused with the odors associated with dominant males. Females, when tested while in di…
Effects of Diphenylhydantoin on Behavior Maintained by a Multiple Schedule of Food Reinforcement
Two white Carneaux pigeons were trained to peck for mixed grain according to a multiple fixed-ratio 50, variable-interval 30-sec schedule of reinforcement. After the rate of responding stabilized, the pigeons were given weekly doses of diphenylhydantoin or an equal volume vehicle Diphenylhydantoin produced a lengthening of the pre-ratio pause and general disintegration of responding during the FR component and a decreased rate of responding in th…
