The aim of this study was to explore the way young people facing severe and multiple disadvantage and their support workers perceive the circumstances of the young person. The leaders of 11 U.K. and five U.S. support-providing organisations identified 30 young people aged 16 to 25 who were in great need and 35 workers for this study. Thematic analysis of the semi-structured interviews found that shame was a primary emotional reaction to severe and multiple disadvantage. A history of poor relationships led them to develop an acute assessment of others and a tendency to back away from help. Over time, they perceived themselves to be unworthy and unable. Findings underscored the young people's role in shaping their trajectories and shone light on the role of emotions in explaining disconnection from support.

从内部定义严重的多重劣势：年轻人及其支持人员的观点

本研究的目的是探索面临严重和多重不利条件的年轻人及其支持人员如何看待年轻人的情况。11 个英国和 5 个美国提供支持的组织的领导人确定了 30 名 16 至 25 岁的年轻人有很大的需要和 35 名工人进行这项研究。对半结构化访谈的专题分析发现，羞耻是对严重和多重劣势的主要情绪反应。不良人际关系的历史使他们对他人产生了敏锐的评价，并倾向于回避帮助。久而久之，他们就觉得自己不配，没有能力。调查结果强调了年轻人在塑造他们的轨迹方面的作用，并阐明了情绪在解释与支持脱节方面的作用。
