The results of a recent study concluded that Rich More kind than the poor, and that The poor are often photographed as the most kindly, such as what came in Bob Kratchit, Charlie Bukit and the Wizley family in Harry Potter’s films, that this is not real.
According to what was published in the British Daily Mail newspaper, the results of the study indicate that these stereotypes in artworks of the poor do not contain a great deal of truth, and that the rich are actually more kind to the poor, albeit slightly.
The rich people are more kind to the poor
The researchers analyzed the data of more than 2.3 million people around the world for five decades, and the most poverty people showed less generous and kind behavior towards others, because they could not bear the costs of that, experts found.
According to the results of the study, the scarcity of resources makes it the most expensive for individuals from the lower class to act socially towards others, and there was a belief in psychology that low -income people are more kind and generous towards others in order to enhance social ties, which can help when times become particularly difficult, but opposing belief is that wealthy people are more kind and generous because they are able to do so.
Researchers from the Netherlands, China and Germany analyzed the results of 471 independent studies dating back to 1968, and these studies have discussed in the social class income, education and social behaviors, that is, those that aim to help others or society as a whole, and social behaviors include assistance, participation, donation, cooperation, volunteering and calming another person and show interest in animals.
In total, the data represented more than 2.3 million people, between children, teenagers and adults, from 60 society, including China, the United States, Germany, Spain, Italy, Canada, Sweden and Australia, and according to the results, the higher the social class, the higher levels of social sympathy in general.
According to the author of the study, Professor Paul Van Lang, a psychologist at the University of Freiji in Amsterdam, the difference was small but statistically important, and that the link between the upper social class and the desire to engage in society remains correct in various age groups, societies, continents and cultural areas, and regardless of how we measured the social class, we have found a small positive correlation between the upper social class and increased socialism.
