An adult castrate male chimpanzee in a food competition situation tended to be more dominant when receiving male sex hormone therapy and became subordinate when treated with female sex hormones. The habits established during hormone treatment persisted after the cessation of treatment but could be reversed by appropriate hormone administration.
