A large proportion of the world's population live in poverty.The adverse conditions in which these individuals liveaffects their health, behaviour and cognition. However,most existing literature focuses on the deficits of peoplein poverty and not on their potential strengths, which mayresult from the evolutionary pressure to adapt. Manypeople who live in poverty do not have security in theirfood supply and may have to adjust their behaviour inresponse to this.The research proposed here aims to address thequestion 'Does food insecurity strengthen any aspects offood-related cognition?'. It would aim to work with a broadsample of participants who have and have notexperienced food insecurity, and would do so at low cost.It would utilise behavioural ecological theory alongsideevolutionary theory to answer pertinent psychologicalquestions, that have previously been overlooked.Identifying and understanding potential strengths ofpeople in poverty has significant implications for publichealth, interventions and education, as well as forpsychological theory surrounding the effects of povertyand the existing body of literature on this topic.

世界上有很大一部分人口生活在贫困中。这些人生活的不利条件影响到他们的健康、行为和认知。然而，大多数现有文献关注的是贫困人群的缺陷，而不是他们的潜在优势，这可能是进化压力适应的结果。许多生活在贫困中的人在食物供应方面没有保障，他们可能不得不为此调整自己的行为。这里提出的研究旨在解决“食物不安全是否会加强与食物相关的认知的任何方面？”它的目标是与有过或没有经历过粮食不安全的广泛参与者合作，并将以低成本这样做。它将利用行为生态学理论和进化理论来回答相关的心理学问题，这些问题以前被忽视了。识别和了解贫困人口的潜在优势对公共卫生、干预和教育，以及围绕贫困影响的心理学理论和关于这一主题的现有文献都具有重大意义。
