In particular, they are very socially aware, both of humans and of each other.Many studies have reported that they can sense human emotions. Recent research has found that they can tell the difference between happy and angry faces, and even show jealousy.It now seems that they can sense when a person is untrustworthy. Once a dog has decided a person is unreliable, it stops following the cues they give. Its been known for years that dogs understand what it means when a human points at something. If a dogs owner points to the location of a ball, stick or food, the dog will run and explore the location the person is pointing to.A study published in the journalAnimal Cognitionpresented 34 dogs with three rounds of pointing. In the first round, the experimenters accurately pointed to where food was hidden in a container. But in the second round, they pointed to an empty container. In the third round, the same experimenter again pointed to the container with food. But now the dog did not respond to the experimenters cue. That suggests that the dogs could use their experience of the experimenter to assess whether they were a reliable guide.After these rounds a new experimenter replicated the first round. Once again, the dogs followed this new person with interest. Researchers say they were surprised that the dogs “devalued the reliability of a human” so quickly. “Dogs have more sophisticated social intelligence than we thought. This social intelligence evolved selectively in their long life history with humans.” The next step, they say, will be to test closely related species such as wolves. This would then reveal the “profound effects of domestication” on the social intelligence of dogs.And if they consistently dont know whats going to happen next they can get stressed, aggressive or fearful. Dogs whose owners are inconsistent to them often have behavioral disorders.1.

Researchers say that women appreciate art far more. Men on the other hand, focus more on the artists background and authenticity.Researchers made 518 people look at two unfamiliar paintings with made-up biographies of the artist. Some participants read a bio that characterized the artist as authentic（真实的） in other words, a lifelong painter who creates unique work. Others read a bio that characterized the artist as an ordinary painter who took up the craft only recently. When the artist was characterized as authentic, participants had a much more favorable impression of both the artist and the artwork. Participants indicated they were more willing to buy that artists painting and to pay a higher price for it.Men were much more likely to use the artists brand as a deciding factor when evaluating（评价）art. Women also took the artists authenticity into account, but a bigger factor for them was the artwork itself. “Women are more willing to go through a complicated process of actually evaluating the artwork,” the study said, “whereas men may say, This guy is a great artist, so Ill buy his art.”While the art market has grown steadily for the past 10 years, theres a lack of research on how consumers are actually determining the worth of artwork. Knowing that the artists brand plays a major role in consumers evaluation may help art dealers better set their prices.The findings can also help consumers make decisions on which art they buy. “For the average person trying to purchase art, knowing something about the artist and knowing th
