Rich people are not good at reading other people's emotions?

Rich people perceive the feelings of others as poorer than the poor, according to a recent study by scientists at the University of California (USA).

Scientists have found that poor people are better able to judge other people's thoughts than rich people because they need to depend on others more often. Meanwhile, the rich have hardly been influenced by others.

The Daily Mail reported that the study was conducted with a group of different educated volunteers working at a university. These people were asked to take a test of emotional awareness by showing the emotions of each face in the image they were watching.

As a result, scientists found that people with higher levels of education were less likely to recognize facial emotions than those with low levels of education.

After that, another experiment was conducted with students living in families with different economic circumstances ranging from poor to rich (this is self-claimed by students). These students were asked to read the feelings of a stranger in a job interview.

Similarly, the results show that better-off students find it more difficult to correctly read the feelings of others than those who come from families in difficult economic situations.

' Our research found that an individual's ability to read other people's emotions depends not only on the individuality of the individual but also on the culture and living standards of that individual, ' Dr. Michael Kraus, research team member, concluded.
