✦ Synopsis

The scores of three aggression parameters in a standard-opponent test correlated significantly with individual androgen concentrations measured in tissue as well as in blood samples taken immediately after the test (bites: r = + .62/+ .82, threats: r = + .75/ + .70, latency: r = -.66/ -S3). If the test was performed after 28 days of social isolation no correlations were found. There were also no correlations between behavioural measures and corticoids.
