Causal mapping was used to compare poverty activists and non - activists form canada and the philippines (N = 80) in terms of their beliefs about the causes of poverty in developing nations. The causal maps varied as a function on both activist status and country of residence. Activitst included more external societal causes in their maps than non - activists, whereas non - activiest included more individualistic and internal societal causes. In terms of map structure, filipino activists included significantly more causal links in their maps than members of the other three groups. A cluster analysis on distance ratios, an index of dissimilarity among the maps, produced three clusters dominated by filipino non - activists, canadian non - activists, and filipino activists, respectively, and a fourth cluster that included a heterogeneous mix of respondents from all four groups. Implications for public education, the effective ccoordination of anti poverty interventions, and methodological issues related to causal mapping are discussed.
