Why Rich People Less Sensitive?

Study presented results show, their higher social status tend to have difficulty in understanding one’s emotions rather than their lower social status.

The results revealed by three scientists of Michael W. Kraus of the University of California-San Francisco, Stephane Cote of the University of Toronto and Dacher Keltner of the University of California-Berkeley say that the rich will be more likely not to have a better ability to understand and feel the emotions of others.

The researchers argue that this is due to their higher social status felt he had no dependence on the people around him. Conclusions are drawn to experts after conducting experiments that involve volunteer university. From some of them are volunteers graduate from college and some others not of college graduates. In these experiments the researchers used educational level as an indicator of social class.

In these experiments the volunteers are instructed to look at some of the faces and determine emotions that are shown from each image. From the experimental results turned out to volunteers from among the educated in reading emotions longer than the volunteers with lower education.
