A researcher has [made / did] a report that says having a lot of money makes you a bad person. Professor Paul Piff spent ten years looking [for / at] the personalities of rich people and found [what / that] their behaviour was very different to the behaviour of poor people. Dr Piff said rich people are more [likely / likeable] to break rules, not follow the law, and not [cared / care] about other people. He also said wealthy people [cheat / chat] more at games and are less likely [to / for] help other people. Professor Piff told the BBC that: "Wealth [making / makes] you more worried about your [on / own] interests, your own desires, your own [welfare / warfare] ." He added that rich people think their own goals and needs are the most important thing in their life.

Professor Piff also [found / finding] that poorer people are more generous than rich people. The poor give a [higher / heighten] percentage of their money to help others [than / that] the rich. He said poorer people give one-and-a-half times as [much / many] as richer people. He said: "The wealthier you are, the less generous you are. You give significantly [smaller / smallest] portions away to other people." However, he did say that rich people could change their behaviour and become [nicest / nicer] and more generous. He said rich people can help [others / other] more if you tell them that giving and helping is a [well / good] thing. He said: "Reminding people of the benefits [of / by] cooperation, or the advantages of community, causes wealthier individuals to be just as giving [as / has] poor people."
