通过对普通成人样本(n = 538)和非裔美国人样本(n = 607)的电话访谈,评估了在美国与获得性免疫缺陷综合征(艾滋病)相关的耻辱感的普遍性。大多数答复者至少表现出一些耻辱。非洲裔美国人更支持将艾滋病患者与其他人隔离开来的政策,并更强烈地希望避开这些人,而白人则对他们表现出更多的负面情绪,并更愿意将自己的疾病归咎于他们。无论种族如何,男性比女性更有可能支持隔离等政策,并说他们会避开艾滋病患者。
The pervasiveness of stigma in the United States related to the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) was assessed in telephone interviews with a general adult sample (n = 538) and an African-American sample (n = 607). Most respondents manifested at least some stigma. African Americans expressed greater support for policies separating persons with AIDS from others and a stronger desire to avoid these persons, whereas Whites expressed more negative feelings toward them and a greater willingness to blame them for their illness. Regardless of race, men were more likely than women to support policies such as quarantine and to say that they would avoid persons with AIDS.
