| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
I conducted three experiments about pro-sociality and fairness sensitivity in three different non-human animal species. Two studies were investigating disadvantageous inequity aversion with the classical paradigms: one with the tray-pulling paradigm in squirrel monkeys the other with the exchange paradigm in degus.t The last study had an different approach and is investigating jealousy-like behaviours in domestic cats. The degus experiment is now done and in preparation of submission. The two other experiments are still being conducted.

Current Status of Research Progress
2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
I am pretty satisfied of my research achievement. However, when working with animals, finding the appropriate approach as well as the habituation and training required sometimes much time than planned. This is why some of my experiments required much than than expected and are still being conducted. .

| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
I am planning to keep conducting my squirrel monkey and cats experiments. When done I plan to write up the article experiments and submitted them to international journals. I also plan to go visit international researchers to discussed about my research and got interested feedback as well as collaboration project about pro-sociality in human children and non human animals
