A researcher has made a report that says having a lot of money makes you a bad person. Professor Paul Piffspent ten years looking at the personalities of rich people and found that their behaviour was very different to the behaviour of poor people. Dr Piff said rich people are more likely to break rules, not follow the law, and not care about other people. He also said wealthy people cheat more at games and are less likely to help other people. Professor Piff told the BBC that: "Wealth makes you more [worried about] your owninterests, your own desires, your own welfare." He added that rich people think their own goals and needs are the most important thing in their life.

研究人員的一份報(bào)告稱太多錢將使你變壞。保羅·披拂教授用了十年的時(shí)間來(lái)調(diào)查富人的性格特征，他發(fā)現(xiàn)富人與窮人的行為特征非常相像。披拂博士認(rèn)為富人更有可能違反規(guī)則，不遵守法律，不關(guān)心他人。他還稱富人在玩游戲時(shí)更容易作弊，他們不愿意幫助他人。披拂教授告訴BBC說(shuō)：“財(cái)富更讓人們擔(dān)心自己的利益，自己的欲望以及自己的福利。”他還稱富人把自己的目標(biāo)和需求看作是生命中最重要的事情。

Professor Piff also found that poorer people are more generous than rich people. The poor give a higher percentage of their money to help others than the rich. He said poorer people give one-and-a-half times as much as richer people. He said: "The wealthier you are, the less generous you are. You give significantly smaller portions away to [other people]." However, he did say that rich people could change their behaviourand become nicer and more generous. He said rich people can help others more if you tell them that giving and helping is a good thing. He said: "Reminding people of the benefits of cooperation, or the advantages of community, causes wealthier individuals to be just as [giving] as poor people."

披拂教授還發(fā)現(xiàn)窮人比富人更慷慨。貧窮比富人更會(huì)去幫助他人。他說(shuō)窮人給予的比例比富人高出了1.5倍。他說(shuō)：“你越富有，你越小氣。”他說(shuō)：“你越富有，你給予別人的越少。”但是，他還說(shuō)窮人也可以改變自己的行為，變得更加友愛，更加慷慨。但是如果你告訴他們幫助和給予是一件好事的話，那么富人也是能夠幫助他人的。他說(shuō)：“讓人們知道合作的好處，或是社區(qū)的優(yōu)勢(shì)，這樣的話，富人也會(huì)和窮人一樣擁有奉獻(xiàn)精神。
