In the previous study using data obtained from inbred strains, a relatively higher correlation coefficient was observed between contacting (an index quantifying active tameness) and accepting and staying (indexes quantifying passive tameness), where Pearson's correlation coefficients were 0.55 and 0.60, respectively, but did not achieve significance with the Bonferroni correction. 9 The study evaluated the correlation between the traits, but more comprehensive analyses were needed to clarify the relationships among traits related to tameness.
