Topic: Social animal

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Social animal
		A social animal is a loosely defined term for an organism that is highly interactive with other members of its species to the point of having a recognizable and distinct society.
		All animals are social to some extent—sexual reproduction requires animals to come in contact together in order to mate, and in animals showing any degree of parental care there is a minimal social unit of one or more parents and their offspring.
		Animal social behaviour and organisation is studied in comparative psychology, ethology, sociobiology, behavioural ecology and computer science (artificial intelligence).

	Social animal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		All animals are social to some extent—sexual reproduction requires animals to come in contact together in order to mate, and in animals showing any degree of parental care there is a minimal social unit of one or more parents and their offspring.
		The term "social animal" is usually only applied when there is a level of social organization that goes beyond this, with permanent groups of adults living together, and relationships between individuals that endure from one encounter to another.
		Animal social behavior and organization is studied in comparative psychology, ethology, sociobiology and behavioral ecology.

	Social Order and Animal Consciousness
		Many researchers agree that consciousness is more likely in highly social animals such as chimps and dolphins, who must be able to see themselves in relation to others in their groups in order to get along.
		For an animal to recognize its position within the hierarchy of a group, it seems that they would have to be vaguely cognizant of themselves as an individual.
		Elephants happen to be very social and keenly sensitive to the motions and noises of the other elephants in their herd, fierce ‘animal’ competition does not dictate their order.

	Linguistic Stage, Spiritual animals
		At the same time that the reproduction of spiritual animal at the social level is causing a population growth that imposes natural selection at the social level, the sexual reproduction of its members is causing a population growth within spiritual animals that imposes natural selection at the individual level.
		The members of a spiritual animal move around in space separately from one another, and so reproduction at the social level is merely a matter of subgroups separating from one another and going off in different directions, terminating their linguistic interactions with one another.
		The structure that spiritual animals have because of their higher level of biological organization will be called the “social aspect” of spiritual animals, and the structure that spiritual animals have because of their higher level of neurological organization and the linguistic representations that they exchange will be called the “cultural aspect” of spiritual animals.

		Social animals in general ------------------------- Rats are social animals and it is very unnatural for them to live alone - similar to keeping a human in solitary confinement.
		Animals which naturally live in communities usually have established social behaviour patterns which are part of their nature.
		Many people who work with animals are deeply concerned for their welfare and are keen to do whatever they can to make their animals happier; ensuring that pet rats have company is one simple way in which this can be achieved.

	Society&Animal Forum - Society & Animals Journal
		As Noske (1991) has noted, "the social sciences tend to present themselves pre-eminently as the sciences of discontinuity between humans and animals." Sociologists, therefore, are supposed to study people, not other creatures.
		The relative acceptance of "animal" work in this area may be due to the tendency of social movement scholars to concentrate on "marginal" organizations as well as the fact that the focus is not on animals per se, but on human activity.
		Animals share our homes as companions whom often we treat as members of the family; we even may buy clothing for them, celebrate their birthdays, and take them with us when we go on vacation.

		We and our students have taken many approaches to looking at social experience ranging from work with birds who live and interact with humans in their homes to investigations in large aviaries of how social affiliations among younger and older generations of birds leads to social and evolutionary change.
		As cultivators of behavior, we recognize that attention to an animal's social needs is as essential as a farmer's attention to good soil.

	Animal Social Complexity (de Waal, Tyack) - review
		It has commonly been argued that social stress is a consequence of subordination; Scott Creel and Jennifer Sands present evidence suggesting that it may in fact be a cost of domination, at least in some species.
		Animal Social Complexity is an important contribution to the scientific literature.
		And it has a wealth of material for anyone fascinated by social animals and not intimidated by scientific methodology, a little bit of statistics, references and scholarly language.

	Animal Behavior Social Dominance Lab
		Understanding the origins and maintenance of animal social behavior remains a central issue of behavioral ecology.
		In addition to generally asking why such social relationships evolve, we may also examine both the cues used by individuals to assess the dominance status of others and the specific costs and benefits of being dominant over others.
		In focal animal sampling, observations are focussed on a particular individual and all interactions involving that individual during a given amount of time are recorded.

	EDUC P566 6260 Social Psychology
		The difference between the major and minor projects is that the major paper is an opportunity to extend theory and method of social psychology itself and the minor project is an opportunity to apply social psychological theory, findings, and/or method as a potential innovation for practice or as a novel approach to an interest.
		It is important that the paper reflect a thorough understanding of the content of the topic in its empirical shape, the conceptual underpinning of the topic, and the social psychological method and constructs of study related to the topic.
		The primary purpose of this assignment is to encourage high-level theoretical reflection and thought in a particular area of social psychological study, develop expertise in the content of the findings, locate gaps in the field of study (blindspots or ignored interests), and understand the connection between method and findings as it relates to the topic.

	Social Housing of Primates
		The assumption that non-human primates have social needs (US Department of Agriculture 1991) is echoed by Novak and Suomi (1991) who stated that social interaction is crucial for normal development in most primate species, and that having access to one or more companions may be the most effective way to foster their psychological well-being (cf.
		The animals were tested under traditional single housing, and under experimental social housing which implied that subjects had visual, tactile and auditory contact with compatible conspecifics.
		The normal social adjustability by pair-housed macaque infants that were naturally raised by their mothers, as opposed to the relatively poor social adjustment of pair-housed infants that were artificially reared without mother contact, endorses natural rather than artificial rearing conditions for non-human primates.

	Social Impact: Animal Parts for People?
		This is a subset of a debate over animals in research that, in western society, traces back to the ancient Greeks.
		Key factors for both groups, along with most bioethicists, were animals’ phylogenetic relatedness to humans and their "sentience"—the degree to which they appear to share such human traits as intelligence, consciousness, self-awareness, ability to form intentions, and ability to feel emotions such as sympathy.
		"While the pig is an animal of sufficient intelligence and sociability to make welfare considerations paramount, there is less evidence that it shares capacities with human beings to the extent that primates do," the Nuffield working group said.

		Although the movement can trace its roots to the antivivisection campaigns (see vivisection) of the 19th cent., the modern movement is closely tied to environmental issues.
		The movement gained support in the 1980s with increasing opposition to the commercial fur industry and objections to the indiscriminate or routine use of laboratory animals in research and testing.

	Re: Is a Social animal the same as a animal that travels in a pack.
		Like you say, social animals are interdependent and create bonds, while "pack" typically refers to a style of cooperative hunting.
		So many pack animals are indeed social, and many social animals hunt in packs, but it's not an even-steven deal.
		By contrast, iguanas, which are vegetarians (therefore not hunters and by association, not pack animals), are semi-social, meaning that they tend to gather together in groups of animals of similar size and age.
