Modification of Reconciliation Behavior through Social Experience: An Experiment with Two Macaque Species
TL;DR: It is suggested that the social attitude of the subjects was affected through contact with a species characterized by a more relaxed dominance style, which emerged gradually during cohousing with the tutor species and was sustained following removal of this species.

Abstract: Reconciliation, defined as a friendly reunion between former opponents shortly after an aggressive encounter, is common in the stumptail macaque (Macaca arctoides) but rare in the rhesus macaque (M. mulatta). Juveniles of the two species were cohoused for 5 months, after which they were observed with conspecifics only. Control rhesus monkeys, matched in age and sex to the experimental subjects, went through the same procedure without exposure to the other species. A threefold increase in the proportion of reconciled fights was measured in the rhesus subjects. The difference emerged gradually during cohousing with the tutor species and was sustained following removal of this species. Other behavior, such as grooming and aggression, decreased over time. It is suggested that the social attitude of the subjects was affected through contact with a species characterized by a more relaxed dominance style.

What Cultural Primatology Can Tell Anthropologists about the Evolution of Culture
TL;DR: This review traces the development of the field of cultural primatology from its origins in Japan in the 1950s to the present by examining the proximate mechanisms by which social learning is achieved and the fitness consequences of engaging in social learning.

TL;DR: This work analyzed aggressive interactions in rhesus macaques from birth to sexual maturation (before male dispersal), including male and female focal subjects, and used powerful multivariate statistical analysis.

TL;DR: This chapter offers an overview of different hierarchical levels at which behavioural variability occurs, decompose behavioural variability further into variation within species, among individuals and within individuals over time and highlights some of the mechanisms responsible for generating and maintaining this variability.

A Coefficient of agreement for nominal Scales
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a procedure for having two or more judges independently categorize a sample of units and determine the degree, significance, and significance of the units. But they do not discuss the extent to which these judgments are reproducible, i.e., reliable.

Reconciliation and consolation among chimpanzees
TL;DR: ‘kissing’ is characteristic of reconciliation and ‘embracing’ of consolation according to the data, which indicate that former opponents preferentially make body contact with each other rather than with third partners.

Peacemaking among primates

TL;DR: De Waal as mentioned in this paper showed that confrontation should not be viewed as a barrier to sociality but rather as an unavoidable element upon which social relationships can be built and strengthened through reconciliation.
