社会科学家已经记录了更多的负面反应的概念福利的概念比穷人的概念，尽管这两个标签几乎可以互换使用在当前的政治讨论。我们认为，最接近的解释在于不同的归因信息包含在福利受助人与穷人的刻板印象。三项研究旨在验证这一想法。结果表明，福利受助人的刻板印象中的归因内容，特别是他们更大的责任，他们的贫困状态相比，穷人，最影响公众的更负面的反应福利。结果进行了讨论，在如何修辞的定型观念可能会被利用在政治领域。
Social scientists have documented more negative reactions to the concept of welfare versus the concept of poor, despite the fact that both labels can be used almost interchangeably in current political discussions. We believe that the most proximal explanation rests in the different attributional information contained within the stereotypes of welfare recipients versus poor people. Three studies were conducted to test this idea. The results suggest that the attributional content within stereotypes of welfare recipients, particularly their greater responsibility for their impoverished state compared with poor people, most influences the public's more negative reaction to welfare. The results are discussed in terms of how the rhetoric of stereotypes may be exploited in the political domain.
