Presentation description: 


Poverty is often conceptualized from a monetary perspective. However, its impacts should also be understood in psychosocial terms, articulating psychological and social effects. Cultural factors, such as violence in Brazilian society, intensify the reality of poverty. A population in this situation may reproduce fatalism, shame, and humiliation in response. Likewise, they may create strategies of resistance with their agency, and create a sense of community and social support. Moura will present some qualitative research results about psychosocial implications with Brazilian individuals in situations of poverty.
