By contrast, “psychosocial” theories suggest that it is the psychological experience of inequality – the feelings of inferiority or superiority generated by social hierarchies – that matters. This view implies that the poorest individuals and communities need to feel productive, valued, and empowered to take control of their own lives, rather than feel trapped in a subordinate position.
相反，“心理”论认为重要的是关于不平等性的心理体验——由社会层级造成的劣等人和优等人的感觉。这一观点意味着最贫穷个人和社区需要感到自己有生产力、有价值、有能力控制自己的生活，而不是被二等公民的感觉吞噬。
