Exploring the balance between social disappointment and inequity aversion in chimpanzees.
REFNo: NS979ES

The objective of this study is to gain deeper insight into the behavioural responses of chimpanzees to unequal reward distributions, and to examine whether these responses are primarily driven by social disappointment or by inequity aversion. We aim to better understand the cognitive and emotional processes underlying social evaluation in great apes. The study contributes to the scientific understanding of the evolutionary roots of fairness and social expectations, and offers practical value for improving animal welfare, especially in captive or sanctuary settings, by adapting care practices based on species-specific social sensitivity.
