Do wealthy people behave more unethically? This interesting question is addressed in a series of experiments conducted by psychologists at the University of California, Berkeley, reported on CNN’s health.com. Findings suggested that people of higher socioeconomic position were more likely to lie, cheat, and otherwise behave unethically than their counterparts of lower socioeconomic position.

Among the challenges facing researchers in the field of socioeconomic determinants is the recruitment of individuals experiencing socioeconomic disadvantage. These challenges are the focus of several recently published papers, including that below. If SIG members have further insights/successes they’d like to share with others, we’d love to hear them.
