|September 8, 1989
Resumen
La pobreza infantil sigue siendo alta en los EE.UU., con el 20% de los niños por debajo de la línea de pobreza. La pobreza familiar está vinculada a cambios económicos y sociales más amplios que afectan a la mayoría de las familias estadounidenses.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Sociología Sociología Sociología.
- Economía La economía es la economía.
- Salud Pública La salud pública.
Sus antecedentes:
- La pobreza infantil en los Estados Unidos ha sido una preocupación persistente durante dos décadas.
- Datos recientes del censo indican que el 20 por ciento de los niños viven en familias por debajo de la línea de pobreza.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para entender las razones detrás de la pobreza infantil en los EE.UU..
- Examinar la pobreza tanto en hogares con dos padres que trabajan pobres como en hogares con un solo padre.
- Identificar las causas subyacentes de la pobreza familiar.
Principales métodos:
- Análisis de las cifras recientes del censo estadounidense.
- Examen de la evidencia sobre las estructuras familiares y la pobreza.
- Revisión de los cambios económicos y sociales que afectan a las familias.
Principales resultados:
- El veinte por ciento de los niños estadounidenses viven en familias con ingresos por debajo de la línea de pobreza.
- La pobreza existe tanto en las familias con dos padres que trabajan pobres como en las familias monoparentales.
- La pobreza familiar está fundamentalmente ligada a cambios económicos y sociales generalizados.
Conclusiones:
- Abordar la pobreza infantil requiere comprender su naturaleza multifacética.
- Las transformaciones económicas y sociales son los principales impulsores de la pobreza familiar.
- Las políticas deben considerar el impacto de los cambios sociales más amplios en el bienestar infantil.

01:18Percentile
A percentile indicates the relative standing of a data value when data are sorted into numerical order from smallest to largest. It represents the percentages of data values that are less than or equal to the pth percentile. For example, 15% of data values are less than or equal to the 15th percentile. Low percentiles always correspond to lower data values. High percentiles always correspond to higher data values.Percentiles divide ordered data into hundredths. To score in the...
01:14Fundamental Attribution Error
According to some social psychologists, people tend to overemphasize internal factors as explanations—or attributions—for the behavior of other people. They tend to assume that the behavior of another person is a trait of that person, and to underestimate the power of the situation on the behavior of others. They tend to fail to recognize when the behavior of another is due to situational variables, and thus to the person’s state. This erroneous assumption is called the fundamental attribution...
01:045-Number Summary
In a dataset, the 5-number summary includes the minimum data value, the data value of the first quartile, the median data value or data value of the second quartile, the data value of the third quartile, and the maximum data value. These 5 data values can be visualized as a box and whisker plot.
In a box plot, the minimum and maximum data values represent the lower and upper whiskers in the graph, and the median is designated as the center of the box in the chart. The first quartile and third...

01:10Nature and Nurture
Many human characteristics, like height, are shaped by both nature—in other words, by our genes—and by nurture, or our environment. For example, chronic stress during childhood inhibits the production of growth hormones and consequently reduces bone growth and height. Scientists estimate that 70-90% of variation in height is due to genetic differences among individuals, and 10-30% of variation in height is due to differences in the environments that individuals experience, such as differences...
02:01Group Design
The most basic experimental design involves two groups: the experimental group and the control group. The two groups are designed to be the same except for one difference— experimental manipulation. The experimental group gets the experimental manipulation—that is, the treatment or variable being tested—and the control group does not. Since experimental manipulation is the only difference between the experimental and control groups, we can be sure that any differences between the two are due to...
01:29Environmental Influences on Intelligence
Despite the strong genetic influence on traits like intelligence, environmental factors significantly shape outcomes. For example, while over 90% of height variation is due to genetic differences, environmental factors such as nutrition also have a notable impact. Similarly, for intelligence, changes in a child's surroundings can significantly alter their IQ. Research shows that enriched environments boost children's academic success and help them develop key cognitive skills. Children from...
