Article states the opposite - people from low income families react to rewards less than those from higher income families.

- qprofyeh 3y agoWe read the same article. I interpret less reaction to rewards as being more appreciative. It’s deep, but hear me out. Less reaction means they (and myself included once) have the same expectation as the ones giving the reward, it being an equilibrium. Because the rewards match the expectation over a longer period of time, that’s why they (again, from personal experience) stay hungry for a longer period of time. It will take much longer for a smart poor person to really think they’ve made it to the other side permanently.
