Table 2.

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).
