　　A

　　A new study has shown that the more power and money some people have,the less they care about others.

　　Paul Piff works in the psychology department at the University of California at Berkeley.He wanted to test his observations that people with more money or higher social position behave rudely,and that their behavior shows less concern for the feelings of others.

　　In order to find out how different levels of privilege and different levels of wealth between people in everyday life shape how they behave toward others and how they see the world,Paul Piff designed an experiment to study the behavior of strangers who were meeting for the first time.During these meetings,volunteers who had described themselves as wealthier did not seem interested in getting to know the other person.People who had identified themselves as not wealthy were more likely to listen to and look at the stranger.They laughed more.They seemed to enjoy the get-together.

　　Working with other Berkeley researchers,Paul Piff designed more than thirty experiments to study how wealth and social position affect behavior.One experiment studied the actions of drivers on a busy street.

　　The researchers found that people driving expensive cars were less likely to stop for people trying to walk across the street.These drivers ignored traffic laws more often than drivers of older or less costly cars.Mr Piff says this field of social science helps in understanding the causes of corruption among the powerful.Besides,Mr Piff stresses that their findings correspond to those of other studies.
