Self-Image: How Do the Poor See Themselves?

Sailor, Patricia; Crumley, Wilma

Journal of Home Economics, 67, 3, 4-8, May 75

The poor evidently do not all think alike or react similarly to materials written for them. The authors suggest that professionals should reassess their communications approach to the poor, because of the sharply differing attitudes, opinions, and values which their study found among welfare recipients. Five well-defined groups are described. (Author/AJ)
