Significant main effects on behavior in the social play test in response to OXT system manipulations in the lateral septum.
Treatment × Context | Social play | F(2, 113) = 4.12, p < 0.05* |
Nape attacks | F(2, 113) = 3.64, p < 0.05* | |
Sex | Social play | F(1, 113) = 25.2, p < 0.001# |
Nape attacks | F(1, 113) = 55.3, p < 0.001# | |
Pins | F(1, 113) = 3.93, p = 0.050# |
Subsequent Two-Way ANOVA's were run to examine the effects of treatment and context separately by sex. This yielded a significant treatment × context effect in females only [social play: F(2, 62) = 5.01, p < 0.05; nape attacks: F(2, 62) = 3.15, p = 0.050].
Subsequent One-Way ANOVA's were run to examine the sex effect separately for treatment and context. This yielded several sex effects (see text for details).
