title: [Characteristics of submissive behaviour during agonistic conflicts in rats].
abstract: Using the sensory contact model and "partition" test the competetive behaviour has been studied. The aim of the research was to study the ethological indexes and vegetative reactions in rats, who became submissive during the agonistic conflicts. The results of research have shown that in the process of agonistic conflicts an experience of a social defeat was consolidated and resulted in the development of the emotional stress and behaviour stereotype modification.
