On Being a Poor Child in America
Description:
This exploratory qualitative study probed the experiences of fourteen 7-12-year-old children living in poverty. Child-centered activity-based interviewing methods were utilized. Three universal themes with eight life area specific categories emerged from qualitative data analysis. This study's findings suggest that children perceive poverty as a hurtful and detrimental factor in their lives. (exerpt of abstract from source: IngentaConnect)
