A new comprehensive study investigates the relationship between social class and generosity, analyzing data from 471 studies with over 2.3 million participants worldwide. The research challenges traditional assumptions by finding that wealthier individuals demonstrate a slightly greater inclination to give and help others compared to those with lower incomes. This meta-analysis considers various factors influencing generosity, such as the type of aid provided and demographic differences, concluding that while the difference is small, it is consistently present across diverse populations and settings.
Researchers found that wealthier individuals are slightly more likely to be generous, challenging the notion that lower-income individuals are inherently more altruistic.
