What about food sharing in adults? While much has been written about food sharing as an important form of resource sharing, scant attention has been given to other consequences growing evidence reveals other aspects that are more emotional-psychological in nature (Rozin, 1996), including its appearance in courtship (Alley et al, 2013)
An evolutionary perspective on resource sharing leads to the expectation that the provider should expect a favorable cost/benefit ratio in the long run
Summary
Edited by: Mattie Tops, VU University Amsterdam, Netherlands Reviewed by: Mattie Tops, VU University Amsterdam, Netherlands Carlo Schuengel, VU University Amsterdam, Netherlands. While much has been written about food sharing as an important form of resource sharing (see Kaplan and Gurven, 2005), scant attention has been given to other consequences growing evidence reveals other aspects that are more emotional-psychological in nature (Rozin, 1996), including its appearance in courtship (Alley et al, 2013). The potential use of food sharing for empathic emotion regulation (EER) proposed by Hamburg et al (2014; hereafter HFS) gives us yet another reason to correct this and examine the social aspects of food sharing.
