Surveys

Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...

Optimal Foraging

Optimal Foraging

How animals obtain and eat their food is called foraging behavior. Foraging can include searching for plants and hunting for prey and depends on the species and environment.

Stereotype Content Model

Stereotype Content Model

The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

Inclusive Fitness

Inclusive Fitness

Most altruistic behavior—in which one animal helps another at a cost to themselves—occurs between relatives. Scientists think these altruistic behaviors evolved because they increase the inclusive fitness of the animal providing help.

Facilitated Transport

Facilitated Transport

The chemical and physical properties of plasma membranes cause them to be selectively permeable. Since plasma membranes have both hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions, substances need to be able to transverse both regions. The hydrophobic area of membranes repels substances such as charged ions. Therefore, such substances need special membrane proteins to cross a membrane successfully. In facilitated transport, also known as facilitated diffusion, molecules and ions travel across a...

Summary

Farmers' markets improve urban access to fruits and vegetables. However, accessibility varies significantly by income and race, with wealthier, white populations having better access via most transport modes.

Area of Science:

Urban planning
Public health
Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

Background:

Farmers' markets are crucial for urban fruit and vegetable commercialization and healthy city initiatives.
Understanding spatial accessibility is key to equitable food access in urban environments.

Purpose of the Study:

To analyze accessibility to farmers' markets in Porto Alegre, Brazil.
To investigate the association between accessibility and socioeconomic factors (income, race/skin color).
To evaluate accessibility across different transport modes (walking, bicycle, bus, car).

Main Methods:

Ecological approach with geographic-spatial analysis.
Assessment of travel time to farmers' markets via four transport modes.
Statistical analysis of accessibility in relation to income and race/skin color data.

Main Results:

Farmers' market distribution is relatively balanced, but physical accessibility is uneven.
Only 25% of the population can reach a market on foot within 10 minutes, versus 90% by car.
Higher income and white populations demonstrate significantly better accessibility across most transport modes.

Conclusions:

Significant disparities exist in farmers' market accessibility, linked to income and race/skin color.
Policy interventions are needed to improve equitable access to farmers' markets for all urban populations.
Addressing these inequalities is vital for promoting healthy cities and food justice.
