29th APS Annual Convention

Socioeconomic Status and Its Effect on Prosocial, Antisocial and Political Attitudes and Behaviors

Friday, May 26, 2017 · Boston, MA

Social

We present four recent research programs that investigate the psychological effects of socioeconomic status (SES). A combination of experimental, correlational and field study data suggest that both subject and target SES can have a diverging influence on various prosocial, antisocial and political attitudes and behaviors.
