Individuals of lower socioeconomic status (SES) display increased attentiveness to others and greater prosocial behavior compared to individuals of higher SES. We situate these effects within Pepper & Nettle's contextually appropriate response framework of SES. We argue that increased prosocial behavior is a contextually adaptive response for lower-SES individuals that serves to increase control over their more threatening social environments.

剥夺，但不堕落：亲社会行为是对较低社会经济地位的适应性反应

与 SES 较高的个体相比，社会经济地位 (SES) 较低的个体对他人的关注度更高，亲社会行为也更强。我们将这些影响置于 Pepper & Nettle 的 SES 上下文适当响应框架中。我们认为，增加的亲社会行为是对 SES 较低的个体的情境适应性反应，有助于增加对更具威胁性的社会环境的控制。
