考察了被污名化的交往伙伴在多大程度上产生感知者的威胁反应(即污名-威胁假说)。实验1和实验2包括使用面部胎记处理污名。实验3包括对种族和社会经济地位的操纵。从生理、行为和主观方面对威胁反应进行了测量。与非污名化伴侣互动的受试者表现出与威胁一致的心血管反应，而与表现出挑战反应性的非污名化伴侣互动的受试者表现出较差的表现。在实验3中，群体间接触缓和了生理反应，因此报告与黑人接触更多的参与者在与他们互动时表现出较少的生理威胁。这些结果支持污名-威胁假说，并建议使用生物心理社会方法来研究污名及其相关结构。
The extent to which stigmatized interaction partners engender perceivers' threat reactions (i.e., stigma-threat hypothesis) was examined. Experiments 1 and 2 included the manipulation of stigma using facial birthmarks. Experiment 3 included manipulations of race and socioeconomic status. Threat responses were measured physiologically, behaviorally, and subjectively. Perceivers interacting with stigmatized partners exhibited cardiovascular reactivity consistent with threat and poorer performance compared with participants interacting with nonstigmatized partners, who exhibited challenge reactivity. In Experiment 3, intergroup contact moderated physiological reactivity such that participants who reported more contact with Black persons exhibited less physiological threat when interacting with them. These results support the stigma-threat hypothesis and suggest the utility of a biopsychosocial approach to the study of stigma and related constructs.
