Reconciliation is the post-conflict friendly reunion between opponents. A series of conditions and rules in order for reconciliation to take place has been recently proposed. One critical condition is that the relationship between opponents must be disrupted. We tested this condition using post-conflict and matched-control observations on 4 small groups of tamarins (Saguinus labiatus). Our previous lack of evidence for reconciliation was confirmed. No post-conflict relationship damage was therefore expected. We found evidence that relationships were disturbed following conflicts over food but, as in other primates, no evidence for reconciliation following such conflicts was found. For non-food-related conflicts there was no evidence that relationships were disturbed, as opponents were in close proximity to each other and resumed the exact same activity as frequently in the post-conflict observations as they did in the matched-control observations. We conclude that 'everyday' aggression may not disrupt the relationships among individuals from the same family group and therefore reconciliation is not needed.
和解是冲突后对手之间友好的重聚。最近有人提出了一系列实现和解的条件和规则。一个关键条件是对手之间的关系必须被破坏。我们利用冲突后和配对对照观察对4小群绢毛猴（白唇绢毛猴）进行了测试，验证了这一条件。我们之前缺乏和解证据的情况得到了证实。因此，预计冲突后关系不会受到损害。我们发现有证据表明在食物冲突后关系受到了干扰，但与其他灵长类动物一样，在此类冲突后未发现和解的证据。对于非食物相关的冲突，没有证据表明关系受到干扰，因为对手彼此距离很近，并且在冲突后观察中恢复进行与配对对照观察中同样频繁的相同活动。我们得出结论，“日常”攻击可能不会破坏同一家族群体中个体之间的关系，因此不需要和解。
