upper-class motorists were four times more likely to cut off other vehicles at a busy intersection and three times more likely to cut off a pedestrian
Participants were assigned tasks where a jar of candy, reserved for visiting children, was on hand, and were invited to take a candy or two. Upper-class participants helped themselves to twice as much candy
participants were assigned the role of an employer negotiating with a candidate seeking long-term employment. they were told that the job would soon be eliminated, and that they were free to convey that information to the candidate. Upper-class participants were more likely to deceive job candidates by withholding this information
players did not know that the game was rigged so that each player would receive no more than 12 points. Upper-class participants were more likely to report higher scores than would be possible
