本文分析了欧洲人对贫困的个人主义解释的支持和决定因素。分析是使用多层逻辑回归模型进行的。研究结果表明，欧洲各国对个人主义解释贫困的支持程度各不相同。因此，研究结果与Alesina和Glaeser（2004）的《在美国和欧洲与贫困作斗争》的分析相矛盾。《差异的世界》（A World of Difference），它向我们展示了欧洲人对待穷人的一幅非常相似的图景。在贫困观念的决定因素中，福利制度、短期经济增长和社会支出以及个人层面的人口因素、感知到的经济困难、政治归属和平等主义价值观都与个人主义的贫困归因有关。总的来说，这些发现对未来研究进一步发展上下文水平解释因素的动态测量具有重要意义。
ABSTRACT The article analyses the support for and determinants of individualistic explanations of poverty among Europeans. The analyses are conducted using multilevel logistic regression models. Findings suggest that the level of support for the individualistic explanation of poverty varies between European nations. Hence, the results contradict the analysis of Alesina and Glaeser (2004, Fighting Poverty in the US and Europe. A World of Difference), which gives us a very homogenous picture of European attitudes towards the poor. Among the determinants of poverty perceptions, welfare regime, short-term economic growth and social expenditures as well as individual-level demographic factors, perceived economic hardship, political affiliation and egalitarian values are associated with the individualistic attribution for poverty. In general, the findings hold critical implications for future research to develop further dynamic measurement of contextual level explanatory factors.
