The Social Nature of Play fighting and Play Chasing: Mechanisms and Strategies Underlying Cooperation and Compromise
Abstract
Play is a widespread behavior in the young of most mammalian species. It is a noticeable feature of behavior in primates, and although there are important within- and between-species differences in the actual forms of play behaviors, it very often appears as play fighting and play chasing, collectively known as rough-and-tumble (r/t). Rough-and-tumble will be the main focus of attention in this chapter, although how it may be related to some other types of social play will also be discussed.

Playfulness can build physical, social, and intellectual resources.
“Being playful, for instance, can build physical resources (Boulton & Smith, 1992), social resources (Aron, Norman, Aron, McKenna, & Heyman, 2000;Lee, 1983), and intellectual resources (Leslie, 1987;Panksepp, 1998).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
