Resources

Here are some resources that I hope are helpful for researchers who share my interests:

1) You would like to assess individuals’ endorsement of the weak-victim narrative in your research? Here is are scale items we developed for refugees and low-income individuals:

Refugees/Poor people are a vulnerable group in need of special protection.
Refugees/Poor peple are among the weakest and most vulnerable members of a society.
When someone is a refugee/poor, that person needs special protection.
Refugees/poor people need help to be able to live a life with dignity.
Refugees/Poor people need help to be able to live a life worth living.

Scale from 1 (strongly disagree) to 6 (strongly agree)

2) You are interested in using the identity-reframing intervention? Read this review I wrote for SPPC on how to adapt the intervention to your context.
