abstract="Since certain forms of aggressive and sexual activity are associated with elevated adrenal steroid activity, the hypothesis explored here was whether subjection to a stressful environment which is known to elevate adrenal output would arouse both sexual and aggressive behavior. Accordingly, 24 male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to either physical restraint and heat or a nonstress control environment for 13 days. Following this treatment Ss were tested for sexual and aggressive behavior. As predicted, the stressed Ss showed increased levels of ano-genital sniffing of an estrus female, as well as increased intermale aggressiveness.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
