People are quick to form impressions of others’ social class, and likely adjust their behavior accordingly. If social class is linked to prosociality, as literature suggests, then an interaction partner’s class should affect prosocial behavior, especially when costs or investments are low. We test this expectation using social mindfulness (SoMi) and dictator games (DG) as complementary measures of prosociality. We manipulate target class by providing information regarding a target’s (a) position on a social class ladder, and (b) family background. Three studies using laboratory and online approaches ( Noverall = 557) in two nations (the Netherlands [NL], the UK), featuring actual and hypothetical exchanges, reveal that lower class targets are met with greater prosociality than higher class targets, even when based on information about the targets’ parents (Study 3). The effect of target class was partially mediated by compassion (Studies 2 and 3) and perceived deservingness of the target (Study 3). Implications and limitations are discussed.

This article investigates developments in and antecedents of socially mixed marriage in the rural Dutch province of Zeeland during the long nineteenth century, taking individual and family histories, community contexts, and temporal influences into account. A government report of the 1850s said of Zeeland that farmers and workers lived “in indifference together”. However, our analysis of about 163,000 marriage certificates reveals that 30 to 40 per cent of these rural inhabitants continued to marry outside their original social class. Multivariate logistic regressions show that heterogamous marriages can be explained first and foremost by the life-course experiences of grooms and brides prior to marriage. Previous transitions in their occupational careers (especially to non-rural occupations for grooms, and to service for brides), in their migration trajectories (particularly moves to urban areas), and changes in the sphere of personal relationships (entering widowhood, ageing) are crucial in understanding marriage mobility.

Les auteurs s'attachent aux variations de la mortalité suivant les classes sociales, à l'occasion d'un réexamen systématique de l'œuvre de Aaron Antonovsky, publiée dans les années 1965. S'appuyant sur des séries concernant l'Amérique et l'Europe, ils retracent les tendances à long terme de la mortalité masculine (infantile et adulte) au cours des sept derniers siècles. II ressort qu'il est important de considérer les différences en fonction de paramètres multiples, et qu'il faut aborder avec la plus grande prudence tous les problèmes associés aux définitions des diverses classes sociales. L'article souligne enfin à quel point l'environnement pouvait influencer les modèles de mortalite differentielle, insistant sur les ecarts constates entre sites urbains et sites ruraux.
