Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The poverty attributions of 249 licensed, professional social workers from a Midwestern metropolitan center were assessed using the Poverty Attribution Survey. The three attributions used in this research were structural, individual, and cultural. The primary hypothesis of this research was that, as a whole, the social workers in this sample would agree with the structural attribution and disagree with the individual and cultural attributions for poverty. This hypothesis was supported, with the social workers in this sample "somewhat agree[ing]" that poverty is attributable to structure, "disagree[ing]" that poverty is attributable to the individual, and "somewhat disagree[ing]" that poverty is attributable to culture. The second hypothesis of the research was that social workers who provide direct service would agree more with the individual and/or cultural attribution for poverty when compared to indirect service social workers. This hypothesis also was supported for both the individual and cultural attribution. There were other groups of social workers who agreed significantly more with one or the other attribution. In terms of the structural attribution, those social workers who identified as non-religious, liberal, and/or recent field instructors agreed with the attribution significantly more. Social workers who identified as politically conservative were associated with endorsement of the individual attribution. Social workers who agreed significantly more with the cultural attribution for poverty identified as politically conservative, white/Caucasian/European descent, and/or having a non-social work Bachelor's degree. The implications of this research relate to the possible consequences for clients living in poverty who are assigned to social workers who endorse the individual attribution for poverty. Based on the ethical responsibilities placed on social workers by the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) to address and ameliorate the negative consequences of poverty, two initial actions are proposed.

Download or read book Causal Attributions for Poverty in Italy written by Maurizio Norcia and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do people think about impoverishment? Has the poor to be blamed? Are community or society mainly responsible for his condition? Or Bad Luck? This paper analyses the causal attributions for poverty in order to better understand people's viewpoint. According to literature, we can detect three main attributions, depending on explaining poverty as ascribable to individual, external-tangible or fatalistic factors. The data analyzed refer to a research which has been carried out in 2012, in Italy, and has involved around 1000 participants. A Principal Component Analysis has allowed to 'weed-out' the items by identifying three main components. Following analyses have showed significant relations between attributions and factors like sex, age, education level and economic condition.
Download or read book Poorly Understood written by Mark Robert Rank and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-03-01 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if the idealized image of American societya land of opportunity that will reward hard work with economic successis completely wrong? Few topics have as many myths, stereotypes, and misperceptions surrounding them as that of poverty in America. The poor have been badly misunderstood since the beginnings of the country, with the rhetoric only ratcheting up in recent times. Our current era of fake news, alternative facts, and media partisanship has led to a breeding ground for all types of myths and misinformation to gain traction and legitimacy. Poorly Understood is the first book to systematically address and confront many of the most widespread myths pertaining to poverty. Mark Robert Rank, Lawrence M. Eppard, and Heather E. Bullock powerfully demonstrate that the realities of poverty are much different than the myths; indeed in many ways they are more disturbing. The idealized image of American society is one of abundant opportunities, with hard work being rewarded by economic prosperity. But what if this picture is wrong? What if poverty is an experience that touches the majority of Americans? What if hard work does not necessarily lead to economic well-being? What if the reasons for poverty are largely beyond the control of individuals? And if all of the evidence necessary to disprove these myths has been readily available for years, why do they remain so stubbornly pervasive? These are much more disturbing realities to consider because they call into question the very core of America's identity. Armed with the latest research, Poorly Understood not only challenges the myths of poverty and inequality, but it explains why these myths continue to exist, providing an innovative blueprint for how the nation can move forward to effectively alleviate American poverty.
Download or read book Encyclopedia of Quality of Life and Well Being Research written by Alex C. Michalos and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-02-12 with total page 7347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this encyclopedia is to provide a comprehensive reference work on scientific and other scholarly research on the quality of life, including health-related quality of life research or also called patient-reported outcomes research. Since the 1960s two overlapping but fairly distinct research communities and traditions have developed concerning ideas about the quality of life, individually and collectively, one with a fairly narrow focus on health-related issues and one with a quite broad focus. In many ways, the central issues of these fields have roots extending to the observations and speculations of ancient philosophers, creating a continuous exploration by diverse explorers in diverse historic and cultural circumstances over several centuries of the qualities of human existence. What we have not had so far is a single, multidimensional reference work connecting the most salient and important contributions to the relevant fields. Entries are organized alphabetically and cover basic concepts, relatively well established facts, lawlike and causal relations, theories, methods, standardized tests, biographic entries on significant figures, organizational profiles, indicators and indexes of qualities of individuals and of communities of diverse sizes, including rural areas, towns, cities, counties, provinces, states, regions, countries and groups of countries.

Download or read book Psychosocial Implications of Poverty written by Verônica Morais Ximenes and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-08-21 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a multidimensional, psychosocial and critical understanding of poverty by bringing together studies carried out with groups in different contexts and situations of deprivation in Brazil, Mexico, Paraguay, Nicaragua and Spain. The book is divided in two parts. The first part presents studies that unveil the psychosocial implications of poverty by revealing the processes of domination based on the stigmatization and criminalization of poor people, which contribute to maintain realities of social inequality. The second part presents studies focused on strategies to fight poverty and forms of resistance developed by individuals who are in situations of marginalization. The studies presented in this contributed volume depart from the theoretical framework developed by Critical Social Psychology, Community Psychology and Liberation Psychology, in an effort to understand poverty beyond its monetary dimension, bringing social, cultural, structural and subjective factors into the analysis. Psychological science in general has not produced specific knowledge about poverty as a result of the relations of domination produced by social inequalities fostered by the capitalist system. This book seeks to fill this gap by presenting a psychosocial perspective with psychological and sociological bases aligned in a dialectical way in order to understand and confront poverty. Psychosocial Implications of Poverty – Diversities and Resistances will be of interest to social psychologists, sociologists and economists interested in multidimensional studies of poverty, as well as to policy makers and activists directly working with the development of policies and strategies to fight poverty.
