对有受抚养子女家庭援助计划（AFDC）的接收模式和行为影响的研究进行了回顾，结果表明，许多广泛持有的观点并没有得到基于全国代表性数据的研究结果的支持。其中的主要发现如下：短期和长期的福利使用同样普遍;长期依赖似乎并没有引起AFDC方案;大多数妇女在严重依赖福利的家庭长大，并没有严重依赖作为年轻的成年人;和社会心理因素没有令人信服地表明，无论是原因或受福利接收。关于福利对家庭结构决定的影响的证据是不确定的，部分原因是行为模型没有考虑到个人可以选择的全套选择。
A review of research on the patterns of receipt and behavioral effects of the Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) program shows that many widely held ideas are not supported by findings based on nationally representative data. Among the key findings are the following: short-term and long-term welfare use are equally common; long-term dependence does not appear to be induced by the AFDC program; the majority of women growing up in heavily welfare-dependent homes are not themselves heavily dependent as young adults; and social-psychological factors have not been persuasively shown to either cause or be affected by welfare receipt. Evidence on the effects of welfare benefits on family structure decisions is inconclusive, in part because behavioral models have failed to take into account the full set of choices available to individuals.
