Psychologists have suspected for a while now that money changes the way people act toward others.
Studies have found, for example, that wealthier people are less compassionate and more likely tocheck out during social interactions.
Recently, a pair of researchers at Emory University and the University of Minnesota set out to extend these findings by measuring the relationship between how much money you have and how social you are.
They found that the wealthier you are, the less time you spend socializing.
For the study, cited on Vox, the researchers looked at two huge sets of data: Nearly 30,000 respondents from the General Social Survey, which has been administered to American adults once or twice a year since 1972, and nearly 90,000 people who responded to the American Time Use Survey between 2002 and 2011.
Surveys asked people to indicate their household income as well as how often they spent time with relatives, neighbors, and friends.

London, the capital of Great Britain, is situated on the Thames
River. It is the largest city in Europe with a population of eight and a
quarter million. It is divided into four parts: the City, Westminster,
the West End and the East End. The City is the business and commercial
heart of London. Many banks, offices and firms are concentrated there.
The Tower and St. Paul's Cathedral are in the centre. The Tower is about
900 years old. Many years ago it was a royal residence, then a prison.
Now it is a museum. St. Paul's Cathedral is very large and fine. It was
completed in 1710. The famous English architect Christopher Wren planned
and built St. Paul's Cathedral. If the City is the business part of
London, Westminster is the centre of administration. We can see the
Houses of Parliament there. It is a beautiful building with two towers
and a very big clock called Big Ben. The Houses of Parliament stand in
Parliament Square. Westminster Abbey is opposite the Houses of
Parliament. Many great Englishmen were buried in Westminster Abbey. To
the west of Westminster Abbey you can see Buckingham Palace. It is the
royal residence. The ceremony of the changing of the guards which takes
place in front of Buckingham Palace is of great interest to the
tourists. Rich people live in the West End. The best and most expensive
clubs, restaurants and theatres, beautiful houses and parks are there.
The East End — the district of plants, factories, slums and docks — is
for the working people. London is unlike any other city in the world. It
has rather wide streets but low houses. It looks very grey because
there is so much rain and fog there. Only buses and pillar-boxes are
red. This city has never been planned and it has many parts which are
different from each other.
