Abstract
The Early Career Awards, given for the first time in 1974, recognize the large number of excellent early career psychologists. Recipients of this award may not have held a doctoral degree for more than nine years. Gerald G. Carter's innovative research on the food-sharing behavior of common vampire bats has advanced our understanding of cooperative behavior in animals. By conducting carefully designed experiments, he discovered how individuals identify food-sharing partners and how acceptance into an exchange network is a gradual process that can take months. Using proximity sensors and network analyses, he documented that social relationships formed among individuals in captivity persist even after those animals are released into the wild. His findings provide insights into the benefits associated with being part of a social group and have broad implications for understanding the social behavior of many other animals.

早期职业奖于1974年首次颁发，表彰了大量优秀的早期职业心理学家。该奖项的获得者不得拥有超过九年的博士学位。杰拉尔德·g·卡特（Gerald G. Carter）对普通吸血蝙蝠的食物分享行为的创新研究促进了我们对动物合作行为的理解。通过精心设计的实验，他发现了个体如何识别食物共享伙伴，以及如何接受进入交换网络是一个渐进的过程，可能需要几个月的时间。利用接近传感器和网络分析，他记录了圈养个体之间形成的社会关系，即使在这些动物被释放到野外后也会持续存在。他的发现为了解作为社会群体的一部分的好处提供了见解，并对理解许多其他动物的社会行为具有广泛的意义。（PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA，版权所有）。
