maybe so, but calling this a "study" seems like a stretch.
The article points out two examples of the tests...the driving behavior test where "class" was determined by the make, year, and condition of the automobile, and
I quote: "laboratory experiments on people who had been asked to classify themselves as to their class status, to test lying and cheating."
So the basis for determining "class status" was the car they drive in one case, and self classification in another.
And with this rigorous application of the scientific method we conclude that upper class people are more likely to lie, cheat and steal?
