在群居物种中，前对手在冲突后的友好团聚被解释为“和解”互动，其功能是修复被攻击破坏的社会关系。一项针对10对圈养的长尾猕猴（Macaca fascicularis）的实验证明了这种解释的有效性。相对于基线，先前的攻击降低了对手联合开发资源的能力，而冲突后的友好重聚则将这种能力恢复到基线水平。和解似乎既能减少占主导地位的对手的攻击动机，又能减少下属的恐惧。研究结果支持了一种假设，即友好团聚是一种自我平衡行为机制的一部分，尽管群体成员之间不可避免地存在利益冲突，但这种机制仍能保持群体的完整性。
In gregarious species, friendly post-conflict reunions between former opponents have been interpreted as ‘reconciliatory’ interactions whose function is to repair social relationships that were disrupted by aggression. An experiment on 10 pairs of captive long-tailed macaques,Macaca fascicularis, demonstrated the validity of this interpretation. Prior aggression reduced the ability of opponents jointly to exploit a resource relative to baseline, whereas friendly reunion after conflict restored this ability to baseline levels. Reconciliation appeared to work both by reducing the dominant opponent's aggressive motivation, and by reducing the subordinate's fear. The results support the hypothesis that friendly reunions are part of a homeostatic behavioural mechanism that maintains group integrity despite inevitable conflicts of interest between group members.
