目的：神经性厌食症和肌肉功能障碍患者的污名化的性质和程度尚不清楚。本研究调查的态度和信念可能是有利于污名化的个人与these conditions.Method：男性和女性本科生（n = 361）阅读的四个小插曲之一，描述了一个虚构的男性或女性人物与神经性厌食症或肌肉dysmorphia，之后，他们回答了一系列的问题，解决潜在的污名化的态度和信念对每个字符。神经性厌食症的角色比肌肉畸形的角色更容易被污名化，女性角色比男性角色更容易被污名化，男性参与者比女性参与者更容易被污名化。一个大的影响，性格诊断的阳刚之气进行了观察，如神经性厌食症的字符被认为是不太阳刚的比肌肉畸形的字符，这种影响在男性参与者中更为明显。然而，没有显着的相应影响，观察到feminity.Discussion：女性神经性厌食症可能特别容易受到污名化，尤其是男性。神经性厌食症和肌肉功能障碍分别被认为是“女性”和“男性”疾病，符合社会性别角色的期望，这种污名化与患者的男性气质而不是女性气质的看法联系更紧密。(C)2013 Wiley Periodicals，Inc.
Objective: The nature and extent of stigma toward individuals with anorexia nervosa and muscle dysmorphia remains underexplored. This study investigated attitudes and beliefs likely to be conducive to stigmatization of individuals with these conditions.Method: Male and female undergraduate students (n = 361) read one of four vignettes describing a fictional male or female character with anorexia nervosa or muscle dysmorphia, after which they responded to a series of questions addressing potentially stigmatizing attitudes and beliefs toward each character.Results: Characters with anorexia nervosa were more stigmatized than characters with muscle dysmorphia, female characters were more stigmatized than male characters, and male participants were more stigmatizing than female participants. A large effect of character diagnosis on masculinity was observed, such that characters with anorexia nervosa were perceived as less masculine than characters with muscle dysmorphia, and this effect was more pronounced among male participants. However, no significant corresponding effects were observed for femininity.Discussion: Females with anorexia nervosa may be particularly susceptible to stigmatization, especially by males. Anorexia nervosa and muscle dysmorphia are perceived as "female" and "male" disorders respectively, in line with societal gender role expectations, and this stigmatization is tied more strongly to perceptions of sufferers' masculinity than femininity.
