“…In the series of experiments described here as well as in previous reports [Tatoyan and Cherkovich, 1972;Lapin and Cherkovich, 1971] one can see these phenomena separately. Inner emotional tension which exists in social hierarchy is of considerably longer duration than that of acute collisions and such a model permits the isolation of the emotional state proper of defensive behavior from any motor component.…”

“…Thus, it has already been reported that when a human is near the cage or when he just appears in sight, monkeys exhibit considerable heart rate acceleration, although they seem quite calm [Tatoyan and Cherkovich, 1972], In connection with this it was interesting to perform radiotelemetric recordings of heart rates in monkeys during formation of status orders, especially when one and the same monkey held either dominant or submis sive rank which depended on group composition. These data may serve as an objective index of inner emotional tension derived from social relation ships.…”

Heart rate is a convenient and sensitive indicator of emotional tension. It has been shown that in groups of macaques and baboons in which hierarchy has always existed the leader has the lowest heart rate. That fact reflects absence of emotional tension and is noticed when hierarchy is not violated. Heart rates of submissive monkeys are always somewhat higher than the usual basal rate, which indicates that a certain emotional tension exists in them. When monkeys are regrouped there appears a new leader instead of the expelled one. Now the new leader shows the lowest heart rate.

A good management program provides the environment, housing, and care that . . . minimizes variations that can affect research' (National Research Council 1996). It would be naïve to rely on data collected from an animal who experiences depression and frustration resulting from an inability to show species-typical behaviours, or who experiences discomfort, pain, fear, anxiety and mental distress resulting from enforced bodily restraint. These experiences are re ected in the animal's physiological, psychological and behavioural responses to a test or to an experiment.The responses, however, differ from individual to individual because the experience itself is subjective. It is, at the least, questionable to do reliable 'scienti c' research under such methodological conditions because the data collected are bound to be in uenced by unaccounted-for extraneous variables such as distress, fear, anxiety, discomfort, depression and boredom. Sound scienti c methodology requires that research data should not be in uenced by uncontrolled variables and that the results can be replicated by other laboratories. 'Unless these requirements are met, an experiment is not considered scienti cally valid' (American Medical Association 1992).

“…It has been shown, however, that this parameter is greatly affected by the state of excitement: In baboons and macaques even the sight of familiar persons raised the heart rate considerably [Tatoyan and Cherkovich, 1972]. Only the use of telemetry, therefore, seems suitable to obtain 'basal' values from undisturbed animals.…”
