| summary | Psychological states play a fundamental role in mediating human social interactions. We interpret identical actions and outcomes in radically different ways depending on the motives and intentions underlying them. Moreover, we take reckoning of ourselves stacked up against others, and make moral decisions with others in mind. Evidence has been accumulating suggesting that our closest relatives are also sensitive to the motives of others and can, for instance, distinguish intentional from accidental actions. These results suggest that chimpanzees interpret the actions of others from a psychological perspective. However, recent studies have produced mixed evidence in relation to whether chimpanzees are other-regarding creatures, thus raising some questions about the time of emergence of fairness and other-regard in the human lineage. |
