Abstract
Eight female rhesus monkeys were paired under laboratory conditions for the purpose of dominance determinations. Data from a previous identical study with males were compared with the data obtained here. Males showed a significantly higher incidence of vocalization, fighting and avoidance. Dominance in males seems to depend primarily on the aggressive initiative of the dominant animal. In females, dominance appears to be determined primarily by the initiative of the subdominant animal in avoiding the dominant one.
