  • Social class and prosociality

    Open AccessJunhui Wu, Daniel Balliet et al.ARTICLEPsychological Bulletin2025

    Two theoretical perspectives (i.e., the risk management perspective and the resource perspective) offer competing predictions that higher class individuals-relative to lower class individuals-tend to be less versus more prosocial, respectively. Different predictions can also be drawn from each perspective about how the class-prosociality association varies across sociocultural contexts. To date, each perspective has received mixed empirical suppo…

  • The changes in cooperation among strangers in China

    Mingliang Yuan, Amy Summerville et al.ARTICLEActa Psychologica Sinica2024

    Cooperation among strangers is a key feature of social capital which facilitates societies to effectively compete with other societies. Notably, cooperation among strangers does not remain permanent or stable within a society but can shift with changes in ecology and culture. In the past few decades, China has experienced tremendous social changes, mainly manifested in rapid economic growth, rising urbanization level, more widespread higher educa…

    783). Thus, we observed that impersonal cooperation occurred in all societies-and to a similar degree across societies-suggesting that prior research may have overemphasized the magnitude of differences between modern societies in impersonal cooperation. We discuss the discrepancy between theory, past empirical research and the meta-analysis, address a limitation of experimental research on cooperation to study culture, and raise possible directi…

  • Did cooperation among strangers decline in the United States? A cross-temporal meta-analysis of social dilemmas (1956-2017)

    Mingliang Yuan, Giuliana Spadaro et al.ARTICLEPsychological Bulletin2022Cited by: 1References: 6

    Cooperation among strangers has been hypothesized to have declined in theUnited States over the past several decades, an alarming trend that has potential far-reaching societal consequences. To date, most research that supports a decline in cooperation has relied on self-report measures or archival data. Here, we utilize the history of experimental research on cooperation in situations involving conflicting interests (i.e., social dilemmas). We m…

  • The Effect of Target’s Power on Prosocial Behavior

    Xinyuan Fu, Laura M Padilla-Walker et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Psychology2021

    Social power predicts numerous important life outcomes and social orientations. Thus far, the research literature has mainly examined how an individual’s own power shapes interactions with others, whereas whether a target’s power affects social interactions has been relatively neglected. In particular, does a target’s power have an effect on the agent’s prosocial behavior? Furthermore, could culture along with the power distance dimension alter t…

  • Donors’ Social Class and Their Prosocial Reputation

    Mingliang Yuan, Junhui Wu et al.ARTICLESocial Psychology2018Cited by: 2References: 10

    Donors’ social class may provide cues for others to judge their underlying motives and prosociality. We test whether donors’ social class affects their prosocial reputation through perceived authentic motivation. Across four studies, we find that low-class donors are perceived as more authentically motivated to care about others’ welfare, and thus gain more prosocial reputation as a benevolent person, compared to high-class donors. Moreover, pros…
