Vicarious social defeat stress decreases social behavior in female and male c57BL/6 mice. (A) Female and male mice exposed to emotional/psychological stress (ES) spent significantly less time in the interaction zone, when compared to respective same-sex non-stressed controls (CON) (p<0.05). Similarly, when compared to male-CONs, male mice exposed to physical stress (PS) displayed decreases in social interaction. (B) No differences in locomotor activity were evident across the different experimental groups. Data are presented as mean + SEM (n=11/group). *Indicates p<0.05 when compared to the female-CON group. **Indicates p<0.05 when compared to the male-CON group. αIndicates p<0.05 when compared to the female-ES group. βIndicates p<0.05 when compared to the male-ES group.
