“…This would be surprising given the ample evidence from cooperative problem-solving (Bräuer, Bös, Call, & Tomasello, 2013; Naderi, Miklósi, Dóka, & Csányi, 2001; Ostojić & Clayton, 2014) and social learning (Fugazza, Pogany, & Miklosi, 2016; Mersmann, Tomasello, Call, Kaminski, & Taborsky, 2011; Miller, Rayburn-Reeves, & Zentall, 2009; Range, Huber, & Heyes, 2011; Range, Virányi, & Huber, 2007; Range & Virányi, 2013; Topál, Byrne, Miklósi, & Csányi, 2006) studies indicating that dogs are capable of successfully paying attention to, and extracting information from, human and conspecific partners. Furthermore, there are even indications that dogs extract information from social interactions between third parties (Anderson et al, 2017; Carballo et al, 2015; Carballo, Freidin, Casanave, & Bentosela, 2017; Freidin, Putrino, D’Orazio, & Bentosela, 2013; Kundey et al, 2011; Marshall-Pescini, Passalacqua, Ferrario, Valsecchi, & Prato-Previde, 2011; Rooney & Bradshaw, 2006). Moreover, as mentioned above, Range et al (2012) failed to find a link between attention to the partner, in a local enhancement task, and performance in the paw task.…”

The study of inequity aversion in animals debuted with a report of the behaviour in capuchin monkeys (Cebus apella). This report generated many debates following a number of criticisms. Ultimately, however, the finding stimulated widespread interest, and multiple studies have since attempted to demonstrate inequity aversion in various other non-human animal species, with many positive results in addition to many studies in which no response to inequity was found. Domestic dogs represent an interesting case as, unlike many primates, they do not respond negatively to inequity in reward quality but do, however, respond negatively to being unrewarded in the presence of a rewarded partner. Numerous studies have been published on inequity aversion in dogs in recent years. Combining three tasks and seven peer-reviewed publications, over 140 individual dogs have been tested in inequity experiments. Consequently, dogs are one of the best studied species in this field and could offer insights into inequity aversion in other non-human animal species. In this review, we summarise and critically evaluate the current evidence for inequity aversion in dogs. Additionally, we provide a comprehensive discussion of two understudied aspects of inequity aversion, the underlying mechanisms and the ultimate function, drawing on the latest findings on these topics in dogs while also placing these developments in the context of what is known, or thought to be the case, in other non-human animal species. Finally, we highlight gaps in our understanding of inequity aversion in dogs and thereby identify potential avenues for future research in this area.

“…This "fairness" and emphasis on "sharing" resources suggests that group members might confer higher status on individuals who show generosity-a kind of "distributive justice" motive. Evidence of preferences for fair distributions or "deservingness" of rewards can be seen in animals and humans (Anderson et al 2017; Brosnan and de Waal 2014). Concepts of fairness or distributive justice appear to prevail over absolute level of consequences Buss 2006, 2008).…”

Envy is a ubiquitous social emotion often associated with depression, hostility and shame. Often confused with jealousy which involves the fear or anger that a primary relationship is threatened by a third party, envy is an emotion focused on threats to status such that another person's "gain" is viewed as a "loss" for the self. There is very little in the cognitive behavioral literature on the nature and treatment of envy. In this article I outline the research on the nature of envy, the evolutionary model of envy, the relevance of an integrative CBT model that draws on Beck's Generic Cognitive Model and Emotional Schema Therapy, and the implications for case conceptualization and treatment.

“…As far as we are aware, there has been no published report of indirect reciprocity in brown capuchin monkeys. However, they pay attention to third-party interactions and are inclined to accept exchange offers from humans that were observed to frequently reject such exchange requests from other monkeys (Anderson, Kuroshima, Takimoto, & Fujita, 2013). This might suggest indirect reciprocity, but further studies are needed that directly test this possibility.…”

Reciprocity is probably one of the most debated theories in evolutionary research. After more than 40 years of research, some scientists conclude that reciprocity is an almost uniquely human trait mainly because it is cognitively demanding. Others, however, conclude that reciprocity is widespread and of great importance to many species. Yet, it is unclear how these species reciprocate, given its apparent cognitive complexity. Therefore, our aim was to unravel the psychological processes underlying reciprocity. By bringing together findings from studies investigating different aspects of reciprocity, we show that reciprocity is a rich concept with different behavioural strategies and cognitive mechanisms that require very different psychological processes. We reviewed evidence from three textbook examples, i.e. the Norway rat, common vampire bat and brown capuchin monkey, and show that the species use different strategies and mechanisms to reciprocate. We continue by examining the psychological processes of reciprocity. We show that the cognitive load varies between different forms of reciprocity. Several factors can lower the memory demands of reciprocity such as distinctiveness of encounters, memory of details and network size. Furthermore, there are different information operation systems in place, which also vary in their cognitive load due to assessing the number of encounters and the quality and quantity of help. We conclude that many species possess the psychological processes to show some form of reciprocity. Hence, reciprocity might be a widespread phenomenon that varies in terms of strategies and mechanisms.
