Social preferences are the less popular areas in behavioral and experimental economics and social psychology that study interpersonal altruism, fairness, reciprocity, and inequity aversion.

The term "social preferences" incorporates obstreperous (esp. the Fehr-Schmidt inequity aversion model) and non-obstreperous(e.g., vulnerability-based) theories.

Much of the recent evidence used to test society ideas and models has come from economics experiments. However, social preferences also matter outside the laboratory¹².
