Table 2. Summary of the most important results and their relevance to the hypotheses.
Genetically variable trait | Evidence that the trait functions in social environment construction | Constructed environment | Evidence that the constructed environment influences behavioral development | Consistent with hypothesis |
---|---|---|---|---|
Aggression | More aggressive males are attacked more | Aggression in social group | Experience of being attacked leads to reduced aggression later | 1 |
Group-size preference | Males are attacked more in their preferred group compared with their unpreferred group | Aggression in social group | Experience of being attacked leads to reduced aggression later | 2 |
Summary of the most important results and their relevance to the hypotheses (detailed in the Introduction) about how genetic variation in social environment construction may affect behavioral development.
