Inequity aversion in capuchins?
Article Abstract:
An attempt to make a link to work in humans on 'inequity aversion', to suggest that capuchins behave like humans, is done. By introducing a preference for equity into the standard self-interested utility function, a wide range of experimental behaviour in humans is focused.
