Social Class as Culture - Association for Psychological Science

Social Class as Culture - Association for Psychological Science: "Upper-class people are different, Keltner says. “What wealth and education and prestige and a higher station in life gives you is the freedom to focus on the self.” In psychology experiments, wealthier people don’t read other people’s emotions as well. They hoard resources and are less generous than they could be."
