Workshop Conciliatory Behaviour
Cognitive processes of conciliatory behaviour: from empirical observations to individual-based models and vice versa
Organizers: Prof. dr. Charlotte K. Hemelrijk (Groningen University), Prof. dr. Elisabeth H.M. Sterck (Utrecht University)
In many species of animals, such as primates, affiliative behaviour may be observed after incidents of aggression. This so-called conciliatory behaviour, is supposed to function as ‘reconciliation’ when it is directed towards the former opponent and is regarded as an act of ‘consolation’ when it is performed with regard to uninvolved bystanders. Although it has been documented extensively, the underlying cognitive process is not understood.
To get a better understanding of it, and of the essential conditions under which conciliatory behaviour may have evolved, we use two types of approach in this workshop. First, we bring together scientists studying conciliatory behaviour in different animal species. Second, we bring these empirical scientists together with theoretical scientists using computer models.
