Abstract

The present research examined whether and how high perceived social mobility would promote prosociality. Four studies, including one archive data (World Value Survey), two correlational studies, and one experimental study, provided convergent evidence that high perceived social mobility (PSM) would lead to more prosociality via higher perceived others’ humanness.
