12 4 1/2-yr.-old rhesus monkeys, 6 of each sex, were reunited with like-sexed peers with which they had spent their second year of life. Responses of 5s to reunion with familiar animals were compared with their responses to pairing with unfamiliar like-sexed peers. The members of familiar pairs had been separated for more than 2 yr. prior to reunion. 5s displayed less aggression, fear/submission, and disturbance, and more affiliation, while paired with familiar peers than with unfamiliar peers
