灵长类冲突行为研究进展

冲突行为在灵长类中普遍存在,通过对灵长类动物冲突和冲突后行为的研究,可以了解灵长类的冲突管理和解决冲突的策略,并由此加深理解人类的冲突与和解行为的演化历史和渊源.通过观察并分析动物行为,发现攻击原因有:食物、婴儿和无特殊事件,社会因素也是引起冲突的原因之一.人们早期对冲突后行为的研究主要集中于对和解行为的研究.随着研究的深入,对转向攻击、安慰及替代和解等其他冲突后行为也有涉猎.对人类冲突行为的研究不及非人灵长类冲突行为的研究深入,但这个状况正在改变.对人类冲突行为的研究发现与对非人灵长类的研究发现有惊人的相似之处.

Research Progress on Conflict Behavior of the Primates

Conflict behaviors are popular among the primates.The study on conflicts and behaviors after a conflict can make us understand conflict management and strategies for the solution to the conflicts,and deepen the understanding of evolutional history and the origin of human being' s conflicts and reconciliatory behaviors.The observation and analysis indicate the reasons for the conflicts as food,infants,ordinary accident and social factors as well.The early study concentrated on reconciliatory behavior.But with further study,it extensively browsed other conflict behaviors including attack,consolation,and substitute reconciliation.The study on human conflict behavior was inferior to that on primates,but the status was changing.The findings from the both were very similar to each other.
