Dogs have complex emotions such as jealousy(嫉妒) and pride,according to a scientific research that throws new light on their relations with humans.
Animal psychologists previously believed most animals lacked the “sense of self”,which is needed to experience secondary emotions such as jealousy,embarrassment or guilt.These emotions are more complex than instant reactions such as anger or joy.
Professor Friederike Range,from the University of Vienna,has shown that dogs are jealous when they feel unfairly treated compared with other dogs.“Dogs show a strong reaction to inequity(不公平)”,she said.“If one dog gets something,you'd better believe another will demand something as well.”
But,her study points out that it doesn't matter if one gets a better treat and only that the distribution is fair.
The dog study is the latest into several species,including cows,horses,cats and sheep,which have shown that animals are far more selfaware than they were thought.
Paul Morris,a psychologist at the University of Portsmouth who studies animal emotions,told The Sunday Times: “We are learning that dogs and horses are far more emotionally complex than we ever realized.They can suffer simple forms of many feelings we once thought only primates(灵长类) could experience.”
In research among dog owners,Morris found almost all of them reported jealous behavior by their pets.The dog often tried to get their owner away from a new lover in the early days of a relationship.
Behavior experts suggest owners keep their dogs away as much as possible from a new partner or child.This helps to prevent jealous activity of the dog such as interruptions with barking or whining(哀号).
