Abstract

Three groups of albino rats were tested for defensive burying behavior under conditions of food deprivation, water deprivation, or satiation, respectively. Satiated subjects accumulated significantly more beddng material around the aversive stimulus and spent significantly more time engaged in defensive burying than did food- and water-deprived subjects. These results are compared with shock-elicited aggression results obtained under similar deprivation states.
