PSYCH 104 Lecture Notes - Lecture 32: Psych, Construals, Reduced Affect Display
Document Summary
Piff et al. (2010) found that people with lower (vs. higher) ses tend to be more helpful. May re ect a greater concern for the needs of others. However, priming higher-ses people with stimuli that trigger compassion can increase their helpfulness. In all cultures, people are more likely to help a member of their in-group and less likely to help a member of an out-group. This is particularly pronounced in collectivist (vs. individualist) cultures. Lines between us and them may be more clearly de ned. Isen & levin"s (1972) dime study (after nding a dime, people were more likelyto help a confederate who staged dropping their notes) When we"re in a good mood, we tend to look on the bright side of life (i. e. mood impacts our construals) Being in a good mood increases self-awareness (and this puts us more in touch with our core-values" which will make us more generous)
