Male and female observers evoke different responses from monkeys

Abstract

Golden-bellied mangabey (Cercocebus galeritus chrysogaster) adult females observed at the zoo threatened female observers more than they threatened male observers. Theory in behavioral primatology as well as research design decisions may be affected by this difference, especially if other primates respond to human sex differences in a manner similar to these mangabeys. © 1991, The Psychonomic Society, Inc..
