Other Experiments
　　Piff set up other experiments. He asked people about their family income,/level of education,/financial security,/and how much they valued the way they look. Piff even tested/how much time participants spent looking at themselves in the mirror. He found/that rich people looked at themselves more often/and were more narcissistic.
　　Piff also looked at helping behavior. He was interested in/who is more likely to offer help to another person. Rich and poor members of the community/were each given $10. They were told/that they could keep it all for themselves/or share a portion of it with a stranger. The researchers monitored how much people gave. The poorer people,/who had incomes between $15,000 and $25,000 a year,/gave 44 percent more of their money to the stranger/than did people making between $150,000 and $200,000 a year.
　　Another study examined/whether anybody would take candy/that was reserved for children/who were participating in a developmental program. People who felt rich/took twice as much candy/as those who felt poor.
　　Of course,/it is not only wealthy people/who show these patterns of behavior. In fact,/most of us in our regular daily lives/struggle to decide/when or whether to put our own interests/above the interests of other people. This is understandable/because most people like to think/that we all have an equal opportunity/to succeed and prosper/as long as we apply ourselves and work hard. Sometimes/we need to put our own interests first. But Piff’s studies show/that the wealthier people are,/the more likely they are to pursue personal success/without thinking about others.
