  • Fearful apes, happy apes: Is fearfulness associated with uniquely human cooperation?Christopher Riddell, Mariska Kret, Tonko Zijlstra & Milica Nikolic - 2023 - Behavioral and Brain Sciences 46:e76.
    In the fearful ape hypothesis, Grossmann argues that heightened fearfulness increases human-unique cooperation. We suggest that this conclusion, however, may be premature. In particular, we question Grossmann's singling out of fear as the affective trait that enhances cooperative care. Additionally, we problematize the extent to which heightened fearfulness in humans, and its association with human-unique cooperation, are supported empirically.

  • Fearful apes or emotional cooperative breeders?Pat Barclay, Savannah Yerman & Oliver Twardus - 2023 - Behavioral and Brain Sciences 46:e53.
    The “fearful ape hypothesis” is interesting but is currently underspecified. We need more research on whether it is specific to fear, specific to humans (or even cooperative breeders in general), what is included in “fear,” and whether these patterns would indeed evolve despite arms races to extract help from audiences. Specifying these will result in a more testable hypothesis.

  • “I feel your fear”: superior fear recognition in organised crime members.Gerardo Salvato, Gabriele De Maio, Elisa Francescon, Maria L. Fiorina, Teresa Fazia, Alessandro Grecucci, Luisa Bernardinelli, Daniela Ovadia & Gabriella Bottini - 2023 - Cognition and Emotion 37 (3):430-438.
    Individuals who deviate from social norms by committing crimes may have reduced facial emotion recognition abilities. Nevertheless, a specific category of offenders – i.e. organised crime (OC) members – is characterised by hierarchically organised social networks and a tendency to manipulate others to reach their illicit goals. Since recognising emotions is crucial to building social networks, OC members may be more skilled in recognising the facial emotion expressions of others to use this information for their criminal purposes. Evidence of a (...)

  • Moral Emotions and Corporate Psychopathy: A Review.Benjamin R. Walker & Chris J. Jackson - 2017 - Journal of Business Ethics 141 (4):797-810.
    While psychopathy research has been growing for decades, a relatively new area of research is corporate psychopathy. Corporate psychopaths are simply psychopaths working in organizational settings. They may be attracted to the financial, power, and status gains available in senior positions and can cause considerable damage within these roles from a manipulative interpersonal style to large-scale fraud. Based upon prior studies, we analyze psychopathy research pertaining to 23 moral emotions classified according to functional quality and target. Based upon our review, (...)

  • Fear signals vulnerability and appeasement, not threat.Abigail A. Marsh - 2023 - Behavioral and Brain Sciences 46:e71.
    Humans are not only fearful apes, but we also communicate our fear using social cues. Social fear displays typically elicit care and assistance in the real world and the lab. But in the psychology and neuroscience literature fearful expressions are commonly interpreted as “threat cues.” The fearful ape hypothesis suggests that fearful expressions should be instead considered appeasement and vulnerability cues.

  • Beyond the fearful ape hypothesis: Humans are also supplicating and appeasing apes.Eric J. Mercadante, Zachary Witkower, Ian Hohm & Jessica L. Tracy - 2023 - Behavioral and Brain Sciences 46:e72.
    We review research suggesting that several of the functions attributed to fear, in the target article's fearful ape hypothesis, also apply to supplication and appeasement emotions. These emotions facilitate support provisioning from others and the formation and maintenance of cooperative relationships. We therefore propose that the fearful ape hypothesis be expanded to include several other distinctively human emotional tendencies.

  • The human fear paradox: Affective origins of cooperative care.Tobias Grossmann - 2023 - Behavioral and Brain Sciences 46:e52.
    Already as infants humans are more fearful than our closest living primate relatives, the chimpanzees. Yet heightened fearfulness is mostly considered maladaptive, as it is thought to increase the risk of developing anxiety and depression. How can this human fear paradox be explained? The fearful ape hypothesis presented herein stipulates that, in the context of cooperative caregiving and provisioning unique to human great ape group life, heightened fearfulness was adaptive. This is because from early in ontogeny fearfulness expressed and perceived (...)
