We offer three lines of reasoning, predicting that lower class targets either elicit greater prosociality than higher class targets (fairness), that higher class targets elicit greater prosociality (status), or that people are most prosocial to targets from their own social class (similarity).
Mar 27, 2021 · Finally, lower class targets can elicit greater prosociality, as we argue here, but higher class targets can also elicit lower prosociality; negative emotions like spite or envy may indeed be part of the underlying motivational complex. To control for envy, we assessed benign and malicious envy (e.g., Lange & Crusius, 2015; van de Ven et al., 2009

Across four studies, we find that participants behave less prosocially (i.e., are less socially ...

Differential attributions about an anonymous target’s social class—and respective needs—could ...

From a status perspective, the same pattern suggests that higher status targets actually elicited lower prosociality, identical to what was found in Study 1. Because per-ceived similarity did not mediate the effects of target social class on prosociality, the similarity perspective was not supported. 4.3.
