造成贫困持续存在的因素之一源于现有的社会形象，这些形象以消极的方式描绘了经济贫困者，并限制了为他们制定的政策。本文回顾了有关成人和儿童对贫困的看法的文献。审查中出现的是一个安于现状的社会的写照，其中“指责受害者”的倾向为剥夺数百万人脱离经济主流的权利提供了道义上的理由。文献综述对于分析社会化过程（即在儿童中形成的关于穷人的刻板印象）以及设计教育干预措施以对抗墨守成规的思维具有重要意义。
One factor that has contributed to the persistence of poverty emanates from existing societal images that portray the economically deprived in negative ways and limit policy on their behalf. This article reviews literature on conceptions that adults and children have about poverty. What emerges from the review is a portrait of a society content with the status quo, in which a predisposition to ''blame the victim'' provides moral justification for the disenfranchisement of millions from the economic mainstream. The literature review has implications for analyzing the socialization processes, whereby stereotypes about the poor are cultivated in children, and for designing educational interventions to counter conformist thinking.
