关于短期教育计划在改变社会对精神疾病的态度方面的有效性的研究好坏参半。教育工作似乎是由项目参与者的特点介导的，这项研究确定了一个专门准备的，长达一个学期的课程对严重精神疾病的影响是否是由关于严重精神疾病的教育前知识和接触介导的，八十-三名参加严重精神疾病或普通心理学课程的参与者在开始之前完成了关于精神疾病的意见问卷，课程和完成。研究参与者还完成了对精神疾病知识的前测和后测，以及与严重精神疾病患者接触的前测。有趣的是，教育组的效果与学前教育知识和接触互动，并根据态度而变化。学前教育知识和接触程度越高的被试，在完成教育项目后越不可能认同仁爱态度。有更多亲密接触的参与者对社会限制的态度改善较少。这些扩增和天花板效应的影响进行了讨论。
Research on the effectiveness of short-term education programs in changing societal attitudes about mental illness has been mixed. Education efforts seem to be mediated by characteristics of the program participants, This study determines whether the effects of a specially prepared, semester-long course on severe mental illness are mediated by pre-education knowledge about and contact with severe mental illness, Eighty-three participants who were enrolled in either a course on severe mental illness or general psychology completed the Opinions about Mental Illness Questionnaire before beginning the course and at completion. Research participants also completed a pre- and posttest of knowledge about mental illness and a pretest on their contact with people who have severe mental illness, The education program had positive effects on some attitudes about mental illness. Interestingly, the effects of education group interacted with pre-education knowledge and contact and varied depending on attitude. Participants with more pre-education knowledge and contact were less likely to endorse benevolence attitudes after completing the education program. Participants with more intimate contact showed less improvement in attitudes about social restrictiveness. Implications of these augmentation and ceiling effects are discussed.
