Abstract(s)
Postconflict affiliation has been mostly studied in Old World primates, and we still
lack comparative research to understand completely the functional value of reconciliation.
Cebus species display great variability in social characteristics, thereby providing a
great opportunity for comparative studies. We recorded 190 agonistic interactions and
subsequent postconflict behaviour in a captive group of brown capuchin monkeys
( Cebus apella) . Only 26.8% of these conflicts were reconciled. Reconciliation was more
likely to occur between opponents that supported each other more frequently and that
spent more time together. Postconflict anxiety was mostly determined by conflict intensity,
and none of the variables thought to measure relationship quality had a significant
effect on postconflict stress.
