Many of the everyday restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic (e.g., lockdowns, being apart from loved ones) are even worse for those with fewer financial and material resources, but a series of experiments (total N = 1,452) suggests that people think the opposite. Indeed, participants consistently displayed a "thick skin bias," whereby they perceived effects of the pandemic such as sheltering at home or remaining apart from loved ones as less harmful for people in poverty. Directly providing information that contradicted this misguided stereotype reduced, but did not completely reverse, the thick skin bias. A failure to understand the full impact of the pandemic for those with the fewest resources may perpetuate and exacerbate inequalities during and after this unprecedented global crisis, making the identification of strategies to counteract biased understandings of poverty a pressing priority for future research.

人们认为 COVID-19 大流行的日常影响对贫困人口来说并没有那么糟糕。

COVID-19 大流行造成的许多日常限制（例如，封锁、与亲人分开）对于财力和物力资源较少的人来说更加糟糕，但一系列实验（总 N = 1,452）表明人们认为相反。事实上，参与者一直表现出“厚脸皮偏见”，他们认为大流行病的影响，例如在家中避难或与亲人保持距离，对贫困人口的危害较小。直接提供与这种被误导的刻板印象相矛盾的信息减少了，但没有完全扭转厚脸皮偏见。如果不了解这一流行病对资源最少的人的全面影响，可能会在这场前所未有的全球危机期间和之后延续和加剧不平等现象，将确定消除对贫困的偏见理解的策略作为未来研究的紧迫优先事项。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2023 APA，保留所有权利）。
