Abstract The present study was chiefly focused on nonadult animals of a captive group of Japanese monkeys housed at the Rome Zoo. Over a five month-period, during 1 hr daily observations, threats, chases, physical assaults, submissions, and flights showed by each participant to agonistic interactions were recorded. Sex differences in the behavioral responses to received aggression, in the distribution of threats or attacks in dyadic interactions and in the second dyads of redirections, in the dominance relationship between actor and target in dyadic interactions and in the second dyads of redirections, emerged. The results stressed the short term functional implications of redirection behavior and suggested more long term functional implications to be effective in the female redirection behavior.
