Abstract

Summaryo

1.
Observations were made on the behaviour of 76 herd bulls on 216 occasions of semen collecting.
2.
The behaviour of bulls in the Chillingham herd of Wild White Cattle was observed and one feature of their behaviour is discussed.
3.
Constancy in behaviour of bulls was observed.
4.
According to the behaviour observed on each visit the disposition of each bull was recorded in one of six groups A,B,C,D,E, and F.
5.
The behaviour pattern of each group is briefly described.
6.
Young bulls are seen to be of stable personality.
7.
Adult beef bulls are shown to reveal mainly docile behaviour.
8.
Adult bulls of dairy breeds are shown to have wide variation in behaviour and a great many to be neurotic.
9.
Neurosis is thought to be revealed by the behaviour of all the bulls in groups D, E and F.
10.
A theory on the aetiology of this neurosis is put forward and is based on the conflict of two factors—libido and threat in environment.
11.
The threat display of the bull is described as occurring in aggression, being different to that demonstrated in apprehension.

公牛的性情

Summaryo1。对76头公牛216次采集精液的行为进行了观察。对奇灵厄姆野生白牛群公牛的行为进行了观察，并讨论了它们行为的一个特点。观察到公牛的行为具有恒常性。根据每次访问时观察到的行为，将每头公牛分为A、B、C、D、E和f六组。简要描述了每一组的行为模式。年轻的公牛被认为性格稳定。成年肉牛表现出温顺的行为。奶牛品种的成年公牛在行为上有很大的差异，而且很多都很神经质。神经官能症被认为是由D、E和f10组所有公牛的行为所揭示的。提出了一种基于性欲和环境威胁两种因素冲突的神经症病因理论。公牛的威胁表现被描述为发生在侵略中，与在恐惧中表现出来的不同。
