People are quick to form impressions of others’ social class, and likely adjust their behavior accordingly. If social class is linked to prosociality, as literature suggests, then an interaction partner’s class should affect prosocial behavior, especially when costs or investments are low. We test this expectation using social mindfulness (SoMi) and dictator games (DG) as complementary measures of prosociality. We manipulate target class by providing information regarding a target’s (a) position on a social class ladder, and (b) family background. Three studies using laboratory and online approaches (Noverall = 557) in two nations (the Netherlands [NL], the UK), featuring actual and hypothetical exchanges, reveal that lower class targets are met with greater prosociality than higher class targets, even when based on information about the targets’ parents (Study 3). The effect of target class was partially mediated by compassion (Studies 2 and 3) and perceived deservingness of the target (Study 3). Implications and limitations are discussed.

来自下层社会阶层的人们会带来更大的社会亲和力:同情和应得的事很重要

人们很快就会对他人的社会阶层产生印象,并可能相应地调整自己的行为。如文献所暗示,如果社会阶层与亲社会联系在一起,那么互动伙伴的阶层应该影响亲社会行为,尤其是在成本或投资较低的情况下。我们使用社交正念(SoMi)和独裁者博弈(DG)作为对社会亲密性的补充度量来检验这种期望。我们通过提供有关目标的信息(a)在社会阶层阶梯上的位置以及(b)家庭背景来操纵目标阶层。使用实验室和在线方式(三项研究ñ整体= 557)在两个国家(荷兰[NL],英国)进行了实际的和假设的交流,结果表明,即使基于有关目标父母的信息,较低阶层的目标也比较高阶层的目标更容易获得社会利益(研究3)。目标类别的影响部分由同情(研究2和3)和目标的应得性(研究3)介导。讨论了含义和局限性。
