The Role of Psychology in the An alysis of Poverty: Some Suggestions

The University of Liverpool

The aim of this article is to draw together research findings in social and organisational psychology literature to illustrate that psychology has a role in helping eliminate poverty. Following an analysis of poverty similar to that of Mehryar (1984) which asserts that the cause and solution of poverty both are politico-economic, it is argued that certain psychological findings (relating to perceptions of poverty and the nature of institutional decision-making systems) may well aid such a struggle.
