SBR (Sexual Behavior Recorder) is a program designed to record and analyse data from research on the sexual behavior of rats and other animals with similar patterns of sexual behavior. SBR allows the user to record the characteristic events of both the male and female's sexual behavior: mounts, intromissions, ejaculations and lordosis. It also allows the user to record two other types of events, and analyse them in terms of frequency and duration, using two user-defined keys. The program allows the correction of any event erroneously recorded. SBR can simultaneously control observations made by one or two observers, and on one or two experiment boxes. In the case that two observers record from the same experiment box, the program calculates a set of measures of reliability between the observers. At the end of each observation, SBR conducts a descriptive analysis of the recorded events, including the parameters normally used in scientific literature on the subject, and writes this analysis to disk files. As well as the default calculation parameters, it is possible to calculate any other, or to use the program as a record of general purpose events using the file which contains all the recorded events in sequential order and the exact time at which they were recorded. SBR was written using the compiler Turbobasic 1.1 from Borland International Inc. (1987).
