kizkiznobitei dont like the term because it is not measurable but…
re the quote…interesting certainly…but it seems…and correct me if i am wrong nick ..it seems rather emotive from a human point of view…it doesnt seem to allow for any emotive biological state…i guess what i am saying is ..it not measurable …for example…. when a wolf pack or a wild dog pack or a feral dog pack etc is raising a litter of pups… all of the pack members experience a rise in their reproductive hormone output…so even if as per norm the ‘boss’ pair are reproducing…all the canines in the pack respond by kicking in emotive maternal /paternal type responses…the pheromones effect this ‘calming’ …so what i am saying is yep..i agree with the statement but i don’t think it about conditioned ‘dominance’ behaviour per se..if you with me…i in a waffling on mode tonight… ::) sorry ;D
