大众媒体的态度是污名化的一个强有力的决定因素，因为社会上大多数人通过书面或视觉媒体接触到精神疾病。在这项研究中，我们探讨了土耳其书面印刷媒体中精神分裂症一词的含义。我们筛选了2001年1月1日至2006年5月1日期间允许单词扫描的12家全国性报纸的在线网站。检索词共出现在878篇文章中。在所有12份报纸中，“精神分裂症”，“精神分裂症”或“精神分裂症”每2.2天出现一次。虽然每12.2天出现一次阳性指称，但每3.1天出现一次阴性指称或隐喻使用。在扫描的878篇文本中，491篇（55.9%）的检索词与疾病有关，387篇（44.1%）的检索词是隐喻性的。考虑到负面报道可能比正面报道产生更大影响的假设，有可能表明土耳其报纸正在增加污名化。一种疾病的名称几乎以同样的频率作为隐喻术语使用，这是有意义的。在我们的研究中，观察到的隐喻使用率较高，这可以解释为在土耳其，精神分裂症这个词被归因于强烈的负面感知。
The attitude of mass media is a strong determinant for stigmatisation since the majority of the society gets exposed to psychiatric disorders via either written or visual media. In this study we explored to demonstrate the meaning attributed to the word schizophrenia in Turkish written printed media. We screened the online sites of 12 national newspapers which allow word scanning between the dates January 1, 2001 and May 1, 2006. The searched terms appeared in a total of 878 texts. In all twelve newspapers, the terms “Schizophrenia”, “Schizophrene”, or “Schizophrenic” appeared once every 2.2 days. While a positive referral appeared once in every 12.2 days, a negative referral or metaphoric use was seen once every 3.1 days. Among the 878 texts scanned, in 491(55.9%) the searched terms appeared with reference to the disease and in 387 (44.1%) the searched terms were used metaphorically. Considering the assumption the negative reporting may have a stronger impact than positive reporting, it is possible to suggest that Turkish newspapers are raising stigmatisation. It is meaningful that the name of a disease is used almost with equal frequency as a metaphoric term. In our study, higher rates of metaphoric use observed can be explained with the fact that in Turkey the word Schizophrenia is attributed with strong negative perception.
