3 Ways We Hope to Change How We Understand Deep Poverty - The APA Deep Poverty Initiative

Описание: APA President Rosie Phillips Davis, PhD, speaks about APA's Deep Poverty Initiative that proposes moving beyond understanding causes and consequences of poverty- towards using psychological science as a catalyst to:

Change attitudes and perceptions: Utilize psychological science (along with related communications science in framing and persuasion) to challenge biases, stereotypes, prejudicial attitudes, and narratives about people living in poverty that lead to discriminatory behaviors and decision making.

Change policy: Re-frame negative poverty-related attitudes to garner political support for effective safety net and other scalable programming that benefit those living in deep poverty and mitigate ineffective/inequitable policies.

Change practice: Build the capacity of poverty serving organizations to access and utilize psychological science to more effectively promote and implement evidence-based antipoverty programming and policies in their communities of influence

The APA Presidential Deep Poverty Initiative (DPI) launches in January 2019.
