Abstract Using a time-sample photographic method three measures of sociability showed, contrary to some previous findings, rats administered chlorpromazine (3 mg/kg) to be more sociable than those treated with methamphetamine (2 mg/kg) or isotonic saline. Saline animals were more sociable than amphetamine-treated subjects on two measures. This illustrative study demonstrates that variables influencing sociability results may include social conditions in the cage, post-injection and test environments, and the measure employed.
