Table 8 Detailed MR-QAP correlation and regression results for differences in median dominance ranks (between dyads) for each dominance context against other social behaviors (chimpanzees: all directional affiliation, all directional agonism, nearest neighbor associations; Tibetan macaques: directional grooming and maternal kinship relatedness).

“R” indicates the regression correlation coefficient, “P” indicates the corresponding P-value, “β” indicates the beta value (slope of regression equation), “α” indicates the alpha value (y-intercept of regression equation). Asterisks (*) denote statistically significant (P < 0.05) results. It is important to note that in the investigations of captive chimpanzees, lack of agonism and all agonism are not independent samples nor are privileged role and affiliation; therefore, these significant correlation and regression results are not as impactful as the other significant results in this table.
