Abstract (Swedish)
Syftet med denna studie har varit att synliggöra mönster i attityder till personer som erhåller ekonomiskt bistånd i staden Helsingborg i södra Sverige.

Datan har behandlats i statistikprogrammet SPSS och sedan analyserats med hjälp av Erving Goffmans och Paul Spickers teorier om stigmatisering. Resultatet var att det finns en skillnad i attityderna beroende på utbildningsnivå och ålder medan det inte finns någon markant skillnad utifrån kön. Resultaten kunde i vissa fall visa tecken på stigmatisering. (Less)

The data has been processed in the statistical software program SPSS and thereafter analysed using Erving Goffman's and Paul Spicker's theories on stigmatization. The results show that there is a difference in attitudes depending on level of education and age whilst there is no significant difference in attitudes depending on gender. The results could in some cases show signs of stigmatization. (Less)
