Abstract
Twenty-three observational sessions for each of three groups of 4 infant rhesus monkeys were conducted over a 4½-mo. period in order to develop a method for observing and recording social behavior. The final system provided for the reduction of all social interactions to two-digit numbers representing the interaction of the monkey under observation (P) and the other monkey involved in the interaction (O). Reliability coefficients for three pairs of observers were .84, .85, and .70.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
