Postconflict (PC) behaviors, including reconciliation and consolation, are examined in captive western lowland gorillas using the PC-matched control (MC) method. Results show more affiliation between former opponents after a conflict when compared to control periods, indicating reconciliation, and more affiliation between the victim and a third-party after a conflict, indicating consolation, with social proximity being the main mechanism for resolving conflicts.
