How the presence of friends decreases fear and increases positive emotions: a comparative study between chimpanzees and humans
REFNo: SS351ES

The goal of this study is to analyse the impact of preferred social partners on emotional state in chimpanzees. We want to test whether the presence of a bond partner increases positive emotions when in a positive situation and decreases negative emotions when in negative situations in comparison to a non-bond partner presence. More specifically, fear is expected to decrease with the presence of a friend while joy is expected to increase. A comparison with humans will be done in Switzerland afterwards and therefore will stand on a swiss permit.
