abstract="Aggression and reconciliation were studied in a group of 6- to 7-year-old Russian school-children using the matched control approach and the two methods used in primate ethology-the postconflict period-matched control period and the time rule methods. Aggression was found to be positively correlated with friendly behavior at the dyadic level. It is demonstrated that children, like nonhuman primates, tend to reconcile within 1 min after the conflict, Victims tend to redirect aggression at other individuals. No effect of gender on reconciliation was found. The reconciliation tendency is less expressed in friends than in children who are not friends. A new reconciliation measure is introduced, and an operational definition of friendship is suggested. <p />",
