Psychologist and social scientist Dacher Keltner says the rich really are different, and not in a good way: Their life experiences make them less empathetic, less altruistic, and generally more selfish, the Daily Mail reported.

"We have now done 12 separate studies measuring empathy in every way imaginable, social behavior in every way, and some work on compassion and it's the same story," Keltner said. "Lower class people just show more empathy, more pro-social behavior, more compassion, no matter how you look at it."

Keltner, a professor of psychology at the University of California, Berkeley, said the rich tend to stay focused on themselves. He said wealth, education, prestige and a higher station in life give them the freedom to only have to worry about themselves.
