Abstract

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to explore college students’ perceptions of poverty and if a change in these perceptions occurred from the beginning to the end of the semester. Self-reported perceptions of people in poverty were provided by 112 undergraduate education majors and graduate level sociology and school psychology majors. Results indicated that undergraduate students had more negative perceptions, while school psychology students had the least negative perceptions. Results suggest that all students, regardless of course of study, require more intensive training in the needs of diverse students and students living in poverty, including authentic experiences and direct instruction.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Poverty is the first refereed journal to recognize the inequalities in our social, political, and economic structures, presenting progressing strategies that expand society"s increasingly narrow notions of poverty and inequality. The journal"s broad understanding of poverty—more inclusive than the traditional view—keeps the focus on people"s need for education, employment, safe and affordable housing, nutrition, and adequate medical care, and on interventions that range from direct practice to community organization to social policy analysis. The journal"s articles will increase your knowledge and awareness of oppressive forces such as racism, sexism, classism, and homophobia that contribute to the maintenance of poverty and inequality.
