精神疾病的污名化仍然是一个严重的社会问题,也是确诊患者寻求治疗的严重障碍。研究1评估了大学样本(N = 119)对精神疾病患者相对于身体疾病患者的外显态度和刻板印象,以及不受意识控制的内隐态度(使用内隐联想测验)。研究2将外显和内隐偏差的评估扩展到诊断为精神疾病的样本(N = 35)和来自一般人群的健康对照样本(N = 36)。结果显示精神病人对无助感和应受责备感的内隐消极态度和信念。有趣的是,相对消极的显性态度和偏见关于无助(尽管不是责备)的精神疾病患者也很明显。此外,作为被污名化群体的一员并不会导致内隐或外显偏见的降低,这表明不存在保护性的群体内偏见。
The stigma of mental illness remains a serious social problem and critical impediment to treatment seeking among diagnosed individuals. Study 1 evaluated explicit attitudes and stereotypes about persons with mental illness relative to persons with physical illness, and also implicit attitudes that lie outside conscious control (using the Implicit Association Test) in a college sample (N = 119). Study 2 extended the evaluation of explicit and implicit biases to a sample diagnosed with mental illness (N = 35) and a healthy control sample from the general population (N = 36). Results demonstrated implicit negative attitudes and beliefs about the helplessness and blameworthiness of mentally ill persons. Interestingly, relatively negative explicit attitudes and biases about the helplessness (though not blameworthiness) of mentally ill persons were also evident. In addition, being a member of the stigmatized group did not result in lower implicit or explicit biases, suggesting that no protective in-group bias exists.
