Apparently you do not understand how they chose the two groups. Group identity was not based on a survey or any attribute of the participating individuals.
Low and high socio-emotional groups refer to whether the group was shown the low or high socio-emotional video. The pre-test and exclusion based on lack of attention and instruction following was performed before group selection for each individual, which was presumably random.

Thanks! You’re right, I didn’t understand.
Also, interesting bit: "Participants in the high (vs. low) socio-emotional capability condition showed more negative treatment intentions toward employees"
