Feeling Duped: Emotional, Motivational, and Cognitive Aspects of Being Exploited by Others (2007, background): “Recent work ( Brosnan & de Waal, 2003 ) demonstrated that monkeys understand fairness—as demonstrated by their negative reactions to getting less than another monkey for performing the same task— but they do not appear to experience the self-recrimination that is the central point of the current dup”
Animal pleasure and its moral significance (2009, background): “…philosopher Jeremy Bentham’s (1796) now famous appeal to animals’ capacity to suffer (‘‘The question is not: Can they talk, or Can they reason, but Can they suffer’’), most of the recent scientific and philosophical discourse about animal welfare and rights has focused around pain and suffering.”
When Getting Something Good is Bad: Even Three-year-olds React to Inequality (2011, positive): “Using this approach makes it possible to study fairness in non-human primates, where there is some ambiguous evidence suggesting the existence of disadvantageous inequality aversion, but no evidence at all of advantageous inequality aversion (Brosnan & de Waal, 2003).”
Neurocognitive Adaptations Designed for Social Exchange. (2015, background): “Moreover, the presence of reciprocity in chimpanzees (and even certain monkeys; Brosnan & de Waal, 2003; de Waal, 1989, 1997a, 1997b; de Waal & Luttrell, 1988) suggests it may predate the time, 5 to 7 million years ago, when the hominid line split from chimpanzees.”
Neuronal Reward and Decision Signals: From Theories to Data. (2015, background): “Cebus show disadvantageous but no advantageous inequity aversion (69).”
