Resocialization of Chimpanzees

Abstract

Sixty-one chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) from various sources and backgrounds have been resocialized in a cage setting and integrated into social unit groupings. Rehabilitated animals have been temporarily recycled into non-destructive research and breeding projects.

Effects of hand‐rearing on the behavioral development of infant and juvenile gorillas (Gorilla g. gorilla)

“…A caretaker who provides security in a strange situation and calms the infant may prevent him from engaging in stereotypies. Besides, a decrease of stereotyped behaviors usually occurs when the animals are kept under more normal social conditions, especially when integrated into a group (Meder, 1985b;Puleo, Zucker, & Maple, 1983;Clarke, Juno, & Maple, 1982;Davenport, 1979;Fritz & Fritz, 1979;Pfeiffer & Koebner, 1978;Wilson & Elicker, 1976). When living together with conspecifics, the young primate may find security by making contact with them instead of engaging in stereotypies.…”

“…1970Turner, Davenport, & Rogers, 1969) with the same results. But while rhesus monkeys may recover when kept together with mother-reared conspecifics (Novak & Harlow, 1975;Suomi & Harlow, 1972), chimpanzees reared in a deprived environment rarely can be socialized completely (Fritz & Fritz, 1979).…”

Psychopathology in great apes: Concepts, treatment options and possible homologies to human psychiatric disorders

“…Primates with high levels of stereotypic behaviors are hard to re-socialize. Chimpanzees who tend to respond primarily fearfully or aggressively to others (people or conspecifics) have more difficulties adjusting to new social partners than those who are friendly or calm (Fritz and Fritz, 1979;Fritz, 1989;Brent, 2001). In many cases several risk factors are combined in the life history of one problematic individual, while in others the record of risk factors may be incomplete or simply unknown.…”

“…We deliberately use the term psychopathology here in light of the overwhelming evidence for the psycho-socio-biological continuity between the great apes and humans (e. g., Fabrega, 2002). In any event, besides a few individual case reports (e.g., Brent et al, 1989;Fritz and Fritz, 1979;Nash et al, 1999), few studies have systematically assessed the presence or absence of behavioral deviations in great ape populations, and developmental and other environmental conditions affecting the likelihood of abnormal behavior.…”

Design and Analysis of Automobiles Manufacturing System Based on Simulation Model

“…Operating policies and procedures. Typical manufacturing competitive priorities or strategies are low cost, delivery, flexibility and quality (Fritz J;Dolores H. Russ. 1997).…”
