      ab: This qualitative study explores middle- and low-income children's perspectives about the worries and self-perceptions of children from different socioeconomic groups. Projective techniques utilizing photographs of houses representing different income levels were used to interview 24 children between the ages of 5 and 14 in each of the two income categories. Respondents generally expected the poor child to worry about life's harsh realities, while the worries of the middle-class child would reflect the normal vulnerabilities of childhood. Furthermore, respondents anticipated that self-worth rose along with children's socioeconomic status.
