The sensory contact technique allows an aggressive type of behavior to be formed as a result of repeated experience of social victories in daily agonistic confrontations. In mice of the low-aggressive and high-emotional CBA/Lac strain repeated positive fighting experience increases plus-maze anxiety. Behavioral reactivity of males to other conspecifics in the partition test (which measures aggressive motivation) significantly rises. It is concluded that repeated experience of aggression provokes the development of anxiety in male mice. The results suggest that level of anxiety and its behavioral realization depend on duration of aggressive experience and genetic strain.
