Note from Anthrozoös, 28(4), 533-548

The following excerpt is from a journal I found among magazines at the University of Chicago Hospital.

Traits that were unlikely to be attributed to out group members were ones that represent secondary human emotions such as affection, pride, conceit, nostalgia, remorse, and rancor. These were rated as more human, cognitive, and moral, and less intense than primary emotions such as anger, sadness, or surprise that are typically attributed to both animals and humans.

I wrote this down because I thought it might help me understand a character in a story I'm writing named Benny who becomes the Megabus mascot.
