'Higher social class predict increased unethical behavior'

Volgens een onderzoek van Paul Piff en collega's verbonden aan de Universiteit van California.

Hoewel we het al wisten is het mooi dat het nu wetenschappelijk is aangetoond.

Upper classes 'more likely to lie and cheat'

Members of the upper classes are more likely to lie, cheat and even break
the law than people from less privileged backgrounds, a study has found.

Psychologists suggested that the findings could help explain the origins of the banking
crisis - with self-confident, wealthy bankers more likely to indulge in reckless behaviour

In contrast, members of the "lower" classes appeared more likely to display the traditional attributes of a gentleman.
It suggests that the traditional notion of the upper class “cad” or “bounder” could have a scientific basis.
But psychologists at the University of California in Berkeley, who carried out the study, also suggested that the
findings could help explain the origins of the banking crisis – with self-confident, wealthy bankers more likely
to indulge in reckless behaviour. The team lead by Paul Piff, asked several groups of people from different social
backgrounds to perform a series of tasks designed to identify different traits such as honesty and consideration
for others. Each person was asked a series of questions about their wealth, schooling, social background, religious
persuasions and attitudes to money in an attempt to put them into different classes.

Dit is toch te mooi om waar te zijn : We kennen dus de schuldigen ??
Nee, ik geloof daar niks van. Als de "Lower Class" de gelegenheid krijgt gaat ze ook in de fout.

Dat zal ook wel zo zijn en gebeuren Caspar
De gelegenheid kan ons zwak maken.

De vraag "is de mens van nature goed of slecht " is moeilijk te beantwoorden.
