What does the research say about the relationship between people's economic status-- absolute standard of living, relative position, growth prospects etc-- and the strength of their inclination to altruistic punishment? Are people who have a greater felt sense of scarcity or precarity, for example, more inclined to altruistic punishment than those whose economic lives feel more secure and abundant?

I don’t know! I’ll find out whether they control for that!
