One member of each pair experienced a series of 4 winning encounters (dominants), while the other of the pair experienced 4 losing encounters (subordinates). After the fighting experience, matched pairs were placed together and aggressive responses of both Ss were recorded. Results show that Ss experiencing wins displayed significantly more and were more aggressive than Ss experiencing losses; losing Ss showed significantly higher levels of avoidance. However, no change in mirror GCEF occurred as a result of differential experience.
