Why do the poorer tend to value emotions more, while the wealthier tend to be more indifferent? Generally speaking, people with fewer resources have limited external conditions to rely on (money, connections, options), so they are more likely to see emotional bonds as an important support system. Family, friendship, and love are not only psychological comfort but sometimes also practical mutual aid networks, which is why they seem more "emotionally attached." Conversely, people with more resources often face more complex lives and decisions, requiring quick trade-offs between efficiency, interests, and risks. They tend to emphasize rules, boundaries, and outcomes, appearing more "rational or even cold." But this does not mean that the poor are necessarily deeply emotional or that the rich are inherently heartless. Essentially, environment shapes behavior, and wealth does not directly determine human nature.
