TLDR
This paper found that 11-to 15-week-old group-living rhesus monkey infants initiated fewer playful conctacts with others relative to the other kinds of social contact they initiated, while their overall rates of initiating social contacts may not have been reduced.Abstract:
In five-minute records in which they were rejected by their mothers, passive preventions of nipple access, 11- to 15-week-old group-living rhesus monkey infants (Macaca mulatta) initiated fewer playful conctacts with others relative to the other kinds of social contact they initiated, while their overall rates of initiating social contacts may not have been reduced. Whether acts of maternal rejection are costly and distressing to the infant may depend on the nature of the social companions available for it and until more is known of the context of such acts, hypothesis about weaning conflict will be difficult to test in detail.read more

Social play behaviour in young rhesus monkeys Macaca mulatta at three different ages: from the 3rd to the 6th month of life
TL;DR: The findings suggest that mothers do not participate very much in the play initiatives of their offspring, but they do control it and, at an early age, they differentiate between sons and daughters and, after this age, the infants seem to be more free in their choice of partners.

Rejecting Behaviour and Separation Initiatives as Aspects of the Mother-infant Independence Dynamics in Rhesus Monkeys
TL;DR: In this paper, the attachment, rejecting behaviour and independence initiatives among rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) constitute the most critical elements of mother-infant interactions, and a methodology that takes into account individual, dyadic and social variables among subjects is presented.

AQS/SBQS: Re-adapted Q-sort Procedure To Study Infant Differences In Rhesus Monkey Attachment Behaviour
TL;DR: In this article, the Q-sort test procedure was applied to depict the individual attachment differences in rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) and the results showed significant change between the First Year and the Second Year in some subjects both in AQS or SBQS.

The Behavior of Communicating: An Ethological Approach
TL;DR: W. John Smith revises the traditional ethological concept of displays, and in a final chapter develops the further concept of formalized interactions, which extends the discussion to formal patterns of behavior that, unlike displays, are beyond the capabilities of individual performers.
