[Correction Notice: An Erratum for this article was reported online in Journal of Comparative Psychology on May 9 2019 (see record 2019-25503-001). In the article "Embracing in a Female-Bonded Monkey Species (Theropithecus gelada)" by Virginia Pallante, Pier Francesco Ferrari, Marco Gamba, and Elisabetta Palagi (Journal of Comparative Psychology, Advance online publication. March 25, 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.1037/ com0000173), the title incorrectly read "Embracing in a Female-Bonded Monkey Specie (Theropithecus gelada)" All versions of this article have been corrected.] In several primate species, including humans, embracing predicts the level of affiliation between subjects. To explore the functional meaning of embracing, we selected Theropithecus gelada as a model species. The basic level of the gelada society is the 1-male unit, and the integrity of the group is maintained by the strong bonds between females. In our study group, we observed 3 different kinds of embracing: the frontal and side embraces involving a face-to-face and chest-to-chest interaction and the posterior embrace that consists in putting the arms around conspecifics' back and posing a cheek on it. We verified that the quality of relationships between subjects predicts the type of embracing. Frontal and side embraces were more frequent between females sharing strong bonds. Posterior embracing was randomly distributed. We found a high level of female embracing among the mothers during the first months of lactation. This may improve female cohesiveness against males, thus reducing the risk of infanticide, which is particularly high in geladas. Embracing seems also to act as an ice-breaker favoring grooming. Female embracing could be an affiliative strategy that has evolved to maintain group integrity and high social cohesion among females, especially mothers.

拥抱雌性猴种（Theropithecus gelada）。

[更正通知：本文的勘误已于2019年5月9日在线发表在《比较心理学杂志》上（见记录2019-25503-001）。弗吉尼亚·帕兰特（Virginia Pallante），皮埃尔·弗朗切斯科·法拉利（Pr Francesco Ferrari），马可·甘巴（Marco Gamba）和伊丽莎白塔·帕拉吉（Elisabetta Palagi）撰写的文章《拥抱雌性猴类物种（Theropithecus gelada）》（比较心理学杂志，高级在线出版物.2019年3月25日。 dx.doi.org/10.1037/ com0000173），标题错误地显示为“拥抱在雌性猴皮中（Theropithecus gelada）”。本文的所有版本均已得到更正。]在包括人在内的多个灵长类动物中，拥抱预测受试者之间的隶属关系水平。为了探索拥抱的功能含义，我们选择了Theropithecus gelada作为模型物种。Gelada社会的基本水平是1个男性单位，而该群体的完整性则由女性之间的牢固联系来维持。在我们的研究小组中，我们观察到了3种不同的拥抱方式：正面和侧面的拥抱涉及面对脸和胸部与胸部的互动，而后拥抱则包括将手臂放在特定对象的背部并摆出脸颊在上面。我们验证了受试者之间关系的质量可以预测拥抱的类型。具有牢固纽带的女性之间正面和侧面的拥抱更为频繁。后拥抱随机分布。我们发现在哺乳期的头几个月中，母亲们对女性的拥抱程度很高。这可以提高女性对男性的凝聚力，从而降低杀婴的风险，这在冰淇淋中尤其高。拥抱似乎也可以起到促进美容的作用。女性拥抱可以是一种附属策略，这种策略已经发展为可以维持女性（尤其是母亲）的群体诚信和较高的社会凝聚力。（PsycINFO数据库记录（c）2019 APA，保留所有权利）。
