The behavior described in the research is an example of empathy, as the monkeys are showing concern for the well-being of their fellow primate and prioritizing their safety over their own access to food. Egoism would involve a focus on one's own interests at the expense of others, guilt would involve feeling remorse or regret for past actions, and the social responsibility norm would involve feeling a sense of obligation to help others in need.
