责任归因和社会互动中断是先前文献中提出的两种解释，用于解释不同类型污名个体之间存在的差异性社会距离。测试了理论在解释感知的社会距离方面的相对优势，这些社会距离是指研究中的个体从广泛的污名化条件中表达出来的，这些条件代表了2种一般的污名化类型，即残疾人和越轨者。这项研究是基于一个样本的专业人士和管理人员在关键决策职位。知觉的社会距离是用改良的Bogardus量表测量的。受访者表示更大的社会距离，如酗酒者和吸毒者比残疾人，如截瘫和盲人。很少有人支持这样的论点，即责任归属决定了社会距离的变化，或在2个主要的耻辱类型的残疾和偏差。相反，不同的拒绝可能源于污名在社会交往中造成的破坏。
Attribution of responsibility and disruption of social interaction are 2 explanations proposed in previous literature for the existence of differential social distance from individuals with various types of stigmas. The relative merits of the theories in explaining perceived social distance that individuals in the study expressed from a wide range of stigmatized conditions representing 2 general stigma types, the disabled and deviants, were tested. The research was based on a sample of professionals and managers in key decision making positions. Perceived social distance was measured by a modified Bogardus Scale. Respondents expressed greater social distance from deviants such as alcoholics and drug addicts than from the disabled such as paraplegics and the blind. Little support was found for the contention that attribution of responsibility determines variations in social distance across or within the 2 major stigma types of disability and deviances. Rather differential rejection may stem from the disruption a stigma causes in social interaction.
