Men responded with greater adrenaline excretion during different parts of an instrumental conditioning experiment than did women. This difference did not appear related to urine volume. Informed subjects had higher pre-experimental adrenaline values than uninformed. Men excreted noradrenaline at rates twice those of women. Specific behavioral responses were not consistently related to the catecholamine excretion rates.
