Abstract Four heterosexual pairs of three-year-old rhesus monkeys were either repeatedly separated from each other for 30-min or not separated. Prior to each separation, a transfer cage was displayed at the front of the cage to serve as a cue that the pair would be separated. After only a few trials, the animals displayed disturbance, particularly in the form of stereotyped pacingprior to the separation. Practical considerations related to laboratory methodology, a theoretical discussion concerning the fear of separation in monkeys and man, and the need for attention to individual differences in response to separation were emphasized.
