“…19 Crowdfunders may also benefit by avoiding language that could lead donors to perceive the beneficiary as incompetent and responsible for their hardship or as misleading donors regarding the true extent of their needs. 18,[20][21][22][23] Specific to cancer, language describing an individual's compliance with treatment by battling their cancer while remaining brave may also position a beneficiary as more deserving of donations. 23 Quantitative studies have yet to examine the associations among SES, text indicators of worth, and cancer crowdfunding on a large scale within the US cancer care setting.…”

IMPORTANCE Financial toxicity resulting from cancer care poses a substantial public health concern, leading some patients to turn to online crowdfunding. However, the practice may exacerbate existing socioeconomic cancer disparities by privileging those with access to interpersonal wealth and digital media literacy. OBJECTIVE To test the hypotheses that higher county-level socioeconomic status and the presence (vs absence) of text indicators of beneficiary worth in campaign descriptions are associated with amount raised from cancer crowdfunding.

“…Third, participants might have thought that experiencing power reduces emotional sensitivity. High-power individuals show reduced emotional contagion (Van Kleef et al, 2008) and are perceived as colder than low-power individuals (Fiske & Durante, 2019;Fragale, Overbeck & Neale, 2011). Moreover, even when displaying feelings, the emotions they are attributed is of limited range (Brescoll & Uhlmann, 2008;Hareli, David & Hess, 2013;Tiedens et al, 2000).…”

“…This can be illustrated by a lower ability of high-power individuals to correctly assess the emotions of others (Galinsky et al, 2006;Gonzaga et al, 2008) but also by a lower level of emotion experienced in response to others' emotions (Van Kleef et al, 2008). People tend to perceive social distance in powerful individuals as they judge them as colder (Fiske & Durante, 2019;Fragale, Overbeck & Neale, 2011). It is thus possible that people are less inclined to attend the emotions of individuals exerting power on others.…”

Upon learning of the story of Cinderella, most people spontaneously adopt the emotional perspective of this helpless young woman rather than of her older sisters who oppress her.The present research examines whether this pattern reveals a general human tendency to empathize more with the emotions of individuals with low (versus high) power. Six experiments (N = 878) examined how power influences the focus of people's emotional attributions. Participants were presented with situations in which one character exercised power over another one and had to resolve a referential ambiguity by considering the perspective of one or the other character. Results show that participants largely privileged the emotional states of the low-power character over those of the high-power character. This effect was observed with different types of stimuli (comics and video clips), with high-and low-power roles attributed to pairs of different genders (Experiments 1-4) or same gender (Experiments 5-6). Finally, the tendency persisted -though it was reduced-when participants adopted a less passive role with respect to the characters (Experiment 3) and when power occurred in a less despotic way (Experiment 6). Results are discussed with respect to social attention and sensitivity to fairness.

“…Gender stereotypes relate to both gender economic inequality and general economic inequality (Cuddy et al, 2009; Fiske & Durante, 2019; Jost & Kay, 2005). In the case of gender economic inequality, gender stereotypes clearly contribute to justifying and legitimizing this inequality: Men have more because they deserve it (they are more competent or agentic); as such, men are perceived as high in agency, whereas women are perceived as low in this dimension.…”

Economic inequality is a main issue in current societies, and it affects people’s psychological processes. In this research, we propose that perceived economic inequality might affect how people perceive men and women. In two experiments carried out in Spain ( N = 170) and Mexico ( N = 215), we tested whether high (vs. low) economic inequality leads to changes in the perceived agency and communion of both men and women. Our findings suggest that when economic inequality is high (vs. low), the communal content in social perceptions of both men and women decreases. Specifically, under high (vs. low) inequality, the difference in agency and communion ascribed to a man becomes greater (i.e., men are perceived as even more agentic than communal), whereas this difference becomes smaller for women (i.e., women are still perceived as more communal than agentic, but this difference is smaller). We discuss these findings’ implications regarding the psychosocial effects of economic inequality.
