Abstract
Thirty-two male albino rats were divided into eight groups and run in the dominance tube according to a paired-comparisons procedure. Two measures of speed were recorded. Overall speed was highly correlated with dominance. However, the number of times the dominant Ss progressed without interference from the submissive Ss was not highly correlated with dominance.
