Dec 1, 2017 · We have outlined how social class differences in prosocial behavior may be contingent on certain psychological and contextual factors, including motivation, identity, and inequality. Future work should build on these insights by examining the contexts in which class differences in prosociality emerge and the psychological processes underlying them.

Jul 19, 2016 · Follow-up analyses revealed the importance of reputational concerns for shaping class differences in prosociality: Specifically, higher class individuals reported that pride motivated their prosocial behavior more than lower class individuals, and this association partially accounted for class-based differences in prosociality in public versus private contexts.
Although the extant evidence indicates that higher social class standing may tend to undermine prosocial impulses, we propose that the effects of social class on prosocial behavior may also depend on three crucial factors: motivation, identity, and inequality. We discuss how and why these factors may moderate class differences in prosociality ...

In Study 1, participation in a public prosocial campaign was higher among upper than lower class individuals. In Studies 2 and 3, lower ...

Nov 11, 2016 · In a similar vein, the negative relationship between social class and prosocial behavior may be strengthened once we control for PRD (and vice versa). That is, the full predictive power of PRD and social class for prosociality might be revealed only when criterion-irrelevant variance shared between them is removed.
