“…In rats, for example, increased tumor metastasis and greater numbers of tumor cells have been found in subordinate male rats following a confrontation with a dominant male, and these changes in immunological status remain evident a week after the confrontation (Stefanski 1998;Stefanski 2001; see also Clarke et al 1996;Cohen et al 1997;Jasnow et al 2001;Schapiro et al 1998;Tuchscherer et al 1998). In humans, stress associated with a perceived loss of control and low social power is related to elevated levels of urinary cortisol and increased illness symptomatology (Baum et al 1993).…”

The present paper addresses the consistent finding that men derive more benefit from marriage in terms of both morbidity and mortality compared to women in U. S. society. Based on the evidence that spousal conflict adversely influences physiology and health, with greater negative impact on wives compared to husbands, we propose that the stronger impact of relationship negativity contributes to the decreased marriage benefit for women. Evidence bearing on two explanations for this differential impact of conflict is reviewed. The relationalinterdependence view, proposed by Kiecolt-Glaser and Newton (2001), holds that women are more affected by marital conflict because of their more relationally interdependent self-representations. An alternative view, which we call the subordination-reactivity hypothesis, suggests that women experience greater physiological and psychological reactivity to marital discord because they typically occupy subordinate (lower status and less powerful) positions relative to their husbands. A review of the evidence on the physiological effects of social status is combined with that of the relationship between gender and status, both within society at large and interpersonal relationships specifically, to support the subordination-reactivity hypothesis. Specifically, there is evidence that low social status negatively impacts health and that women generally occupy subordinate status. The relational-interdependence view is re-evaluated and its intersection with the subordination-reactivity hypothesis is explored. Finally, implications and future directions are discussed.

“…DD's submissive behavior disappeared but stereotypic behavior rose, and then declined in the new cage (Figure 5d). These changes in behavior occurred because they adapted to their new social environments [31,32]. As to the remaining individuals, the frequency and percentage of time engaged in these behaviors both changed.…”

The effects of individual removal by zoo managers on behavior and fecal glucocorticoid changes in snub-nosed monkeys (Rhinopithecus roxellana) were investigated at Beijing Zoo. The results showed that the effect of the removal of three subordinate individuals (DD, male, 4 years; XZZ, male, 3 years and LL, female, 3 years) from a group varied across the remaining group members that may be related to individual's social status, gender and age. The dominant male was impacted less than subordinate individuals in both the frequency and time duration for the four main behavioral categories. The frequency of stereotypic behavior significantly decreased in the dominant female after the removal of three animals (Z=2.862, P=0.003). Fluctuations were found in both the behavioral frequency and time duration in other remaining individuals. These findings suggest that small, socially stable groups were somewhat resilient to changes in member composition. Moreover, the cortisol level did not change significantly in the remaining members. An alternative method of hormone assay using fecal samples for vulnerable animals was presented, and that may be useful for monitoring wild golden monkeys and other endangered species of animal. animal welfare, artificial separation, resident, golden snub-nosed monkey, Rhinopithecus roxellana, social structure Citation:Zhang X L, He X, Liu D Z, et al.

“…It has been established that stress can alter immune system function including WBC and RBC counts, and the function of WBCs (in both innate and humoral immunity) (Coe and Erickson, 1997;Brown et al, 2008;Pace et al, 2008) and hormone levels (Clarke et al, 1996;Blecha, 2000). In addition, behavior abnormalities, self-injurious behavior and hair picking (Tiefenbacher et al, 2005), and changes in heart rate and liver and kidney functions can be seen with increased stress.…”
