I have a hard time believing that!“ Remarked a Belgian sports-educator after she met William McGrew at a birthday party in the „Schlößchen of Andechs“ in December 2016. It was one of the last merry gatherings in that place, the Research Unit for Human Ethology of Max Planck Society, before the buildings and big park were sold to an investor. Some of the researchers there were emeriti, now shifted back to the main, enlarged set up in Seewiesen, under the feathers of the Lorenzian mother goose, so to speak. The institute has recently been joined with the MPI for Neurobiology and named MPI for Biological Intelligence. Indeed, meeting Bill at occasions like conferences and parties like the one in the little Andechs castle, was meeting a highly educated, polite colleague carefully listening to his communication partners and giving informed, well-phrased answers. The same man endured the hardships of fieldwork in some of the most remote places of our otherwise comfortable world and conducted painstakingly detailed classic ethological observations of chimpanzee behaviour. His training in several sports, especially running long distances, including marathons and extended hikes in the Tyrolean Alps made and kept him physically fit for the adventures in the jungles and savannahs. Following our cousins for days and days is not an easy thing to do – in many respects.","PeriodicalId":91082,"journal":{"name":"Human ethology bulletin","volume":"171 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72958332","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Kinship terms (e.g. ‘brother’) and affiliative terms (e.g. ‘mate’) have been proposed to function to create strong bonds among in-group members but it is unknown if they play a role in establishing or strengthening between-group ties. To explore that possibility we conducted a psychological experiment whereby we recorded six speeches by three male speakers that differed along two lines: i) the accent of the speaker (Australian English, British English and English with a foreign accent), and ii) the inclusion of the word ‘mate’. Listeners (N=90; 45 males and 45 females) rated each vocal stimulus in terms of trustworthiness using a Likert scale. Our results support existing literature that subjects regard speakers with their own dialect as having higher trustworthiness. However, results do not accord with the notion that affiliative terms are harnessed to get access to social capital within and between groups. In sum, while accents can serve as reliable markers allowing selective assortment among individuals, affiliative terms do not seem to have such social utility (probably because they are easy to fake and thus do not constitute honest signals).","PeriodicalId":91082,"journal":{"name":"Human ethology bulletin","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84245726","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Brazil was one of the worst affected countries of the world in number of COVID-19 cases and deaths . Adults from the five macro-regions of the country answered an online survey in 2018 (N = 616), in 2020 (N = 379) and in 2021 (N = 845). An additional sample of 75 respondents participated at all three times in the survey. Respondents evaluated their current life satisfaction by a single-item measure with a 11-point scale and 5-item Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) using a 7-point scale. They also evaluated how they felt about their lives now in comparison with a year ago and compared their quality of life against the lives of their parents. No differences were found as a function of the timing of the survey in all but one of the measures taken. There was a clustering of life satisfaction scores at around three-quarters of the measurement scale maximum as has been reported for Western and non-Western countries before the pandemic. Respondents’ positive outlook on life was also evidenced by their personal retrospectives, by the self-comparison to one year ago but most clearly by comparison to parents' lives. Our findings showed that they compared themselves to their parents in a way to feel better about themselves. This positivity trend may be an adaptive characteristic of human nature that helps people recover from the slings and arrows of lived experiences.","PeriodicalId":91082,"journal":{"name":"Human ethology bulletin","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79791691","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
