目的：最近在德国进行的一项有代表性的调查得出的结论是，贴上精神疾病的标签会影响公众对精神分裂症患者的态度，其负面影响明显大于积极影响。在这项研究中，我们将检验这一结果是否可以在其他国家复制。方法：2002年夏季，采用与德国相同的抽样和访谈方法，在俄罗斯新西伯利亚和蒙古乌兰巴托进行了代表性调查。结果：与德国一样，在新西伯利亚和乌兰巴托，精神疾病的标签与小插图中所描绘的个人需要帮助的信念的认可正相关。然而，与德国不同的是，标签对危险刻板印象的认可没有显著影响。结论：我们的研究结果支持标签效应与文化相关的观点。因此，反污名化工作需要根据特定国家的具体情况进行调整。
Objective: A representative survey which was recently conducted in Germany came to the conclusion that labelling as mental illness has an impact on public attitudes towards people with schizophrenia, with negative effects clearly outweighing positive effects. In this study, we will examine whether this result can be replicated in other countries.Method: In the summer of 2002, representative surveys were carried out in Novosibirsk (Russia) and in Ulaanbaatar (Mongolia), using the same sampling procedure and interview as in Germany.Results: As in Germany, in Novosibirsk and Ulaanbaatar labelling as mental illness was positively correlated with the endorsement of the belief that the individual depicted in the vignette is in need for help. However, unlike in Germany, labelling had no significant effect on the endorsement of the stereotype of dangerousness.Conclusion: Our findings support the notion that labelling effects are culture-related. Therefore, anti-stigma efforts need to be tailored to the specific conditions in a particular country.
