Abstract

Pepper & Nettle (P&N) suggest that the poor present a "contextually appropriate response" to a perceived limited control and to a short life expectancy. We argue that differences in health, behavior, or impaired economic decisions are better explained by self-control. We discuss the implications of the differences between these perspectives and present supporting findings from two intervention studies with marginalized populations.
