This file contains a table reporting several measures of social tolerance (and other related variables) in domestic dog packs, comprising both the packs presented in the paper by Bonanni et al. (2017), and others for which data were published in other papers (data source is also reported). Measures of social tolerance comprised: directional consistency index of total submissive behaviour, hierarchy steepness (calculated from matrices reporting total submissive behavior, and based on Dij, i.e. dyadic dominance indexes corrected by chance), and proportion of bites in relation to the total number of agonistic interactions (obtained by summing up aggressive and dominance interactions). Related variables comprised: percentage of dyadic unknown relationships in matrices reporting total submissive behaviour, number of pack members, and proportion of pack members who were either spayed or castrated. In the original paper, these data were used to assess Spearman correlation between measures of social tolerance and related variables.
