Lower class wiser about interpersonal conflict than middle class

I think this is really interesting and, at one level, not surprising:

 "Driven by economic scarcity, these individuals will consider the impact of their decisions on those around them and those with whom they have interdependent relationships. Characteristics of open-mindedness and integrating different perspectives are necessary in order to coordinate with others and share resources."
What I'm wondering further is whether this relates to result of the research that tends to show that wealthier individuals drive in an 'entitled' way and generally show less consideration for others in everyday public life. The article seems to indicate that perhaps the answer might be 'yes'. Perhaps this relates too to Christian faith's historic appeal to the poorer members of society and their allies.
