你的狗狗会嫉妒吗？
研究发现，狗不愿意看到自己的主人对其他动物，尤其是其他的狗表现出关注。当主人把新男友或女友带回家时，它们也会表现出抵触情绪。
此前，心理学家认为大多数动物缺乏体会嫉妒、困窘、移情和内疚等高级情感的“自我意识”。这些情感远比愤怒、欲望或高兴等与即时反应相关的情感复杂。
奥地利维也纳大学的神经生物学博士弗里德里克·朗格称，当狗意识到自己得到的关注 不如其他狗，即受到了不公正待遇时，就会表现出强烈的嫉妒情绪。她说：“狗对不公正十分抵触。”
此外，莫里斯对养狗人开展的一项调查发现，几乎所有人都称他们的宠物狗有过嫉妒行为。
行为学家建议，当新成员出现在家里时，尽量不要打乱宠物狗的生活规律，以免因为嫉妒而吠叫或哭泣。
Canines do not like seeing their owners offering affection to other creatures, especially other dogs, and react negatively when their owners bring home new partners, the research found.
Psychologists previously believed most animals lack the "sense of self" needed to experience so-called secondary emotions such as jealousy,embarrassment,empathy or guilt.
These emotions are more complex than feelings associated with instant reaction - such as anger,lust or joy.
Dr Friederike Range, of the University of Vienna's neurobiology department, has shown that dogs feel intense jealously when they spot that they are unfairly treated compared with other dogs. "Dogs show a strong aversion to inequity," she said.
In research among dog owners,found almost all of them reported jealous behaviour by their pets.
Behavioural experts recommend owners keeping their dog's routine as much as possible when a new partner or child comes along in order to prevent jealous activity from the dog such as interruptions with barking or whining.
