  1. CENSORED Bullying and Monkeys. Problem? “Studies show that the effect of stress and bullying can lower immune system.”

  2. Managing monkeys Researchers worked with 49 female rhesus macaque monkeys, placing them in new social environments in which they endured different levels of social stress. Ten new groups of five monkeys each were created, and a monkey's social status was determined by how early on they were placed into the group. The last monkeys to enter the group had the lowest social rank. "Lower-ranking females are exposed to a different social environment. Day to day, they are subject to more stressful interactions," Tung said. "There are particular threatening faces and gestures that female macaques can make to each other. They (the low-ranking females) tend to be the target of those threat gestures more often." “Monkeys are bullied too man…”

  3. Bullying causes a social stress • It can lead to disorders and irregularities in the immune system • Those bullied are often sick more • This study tested in groups of female monkeys “Oh you like bullying? Guess you didn’t know it affects your immune system.”

  4. Its all social status "We were able to find that with changes in social environment, you see the gene-expression pattern seems to change with it. If you can improve your social environment, then that gene signature seems to go away too," Tung said.This means that by improving their social status, the monkeys could also improve their health.

  5. Previous research has also shown the effects of social stress in humans, including increased incidence of cardiovascular disease. Humans could very well also experience  immune system changes in response to increased levels of social stress. So How’s it Relate?
