Description

wolf: One 16 by 16 matrix of frequencies.

BACKGROUND These are data on a captive family of wolves in Arnheim, Germany. The 16 wolves studied here were housed in a large wooded enclosure and observed in 1978. This matrix displays deference acts. The number in a cell represents the number of occasions on which the row wolf was seen to exhibit a “low posture" display directed toward the column wolf. The behavior could involve approach or retreat, but the fact that it was performed in “low posture" suggests that it was deferent.
