精神疾病的耻辱感已被证明受到与精神疾病的个人接触以及对精神疾病遗传性的信念的影响。我们使用的数据，从全国代表性的调查，以测试是否与接触的耻辱的关系仍然考虑到遗传信念和其他背景特征的影响。接触被定义为受访者自己，他们的家庭成员或他们的朋友之间的精神病住院史。受访者回答了关于一个患有精神疾病的小插曲角色的问题。我们发现，有接触的受访者对角色的愤怒和指责较少，认为角色有更严重的问题，并且希望与角色保持更小的社交距离，包括社交距离的随意和亲密方面。有接触的受访者在表达同情、认为问题会持续一生或希望限制生育的程度上与普通人群没有显著差异。因此，接触与对患有精神疾病的陌生人采取较少排斥、批评的态度有关。结果强调了这个有经验的群体作为打击社会污名化的资源的重要性。由于许多精神病住院治疗的人没有告诉他们的朋友或家人，这个低耻辱群体可能会扩大。
The stigma of mental illness has been shown to be affected by personal contact with mental illness and by a belief in the genetic heritability of mental illness. We use data from a nationally representative survey to test whether the relationship of stigma with contact remains after taking into account the effects of genetic beliefs and other background characteristics. Contact was defined as a history of psychiatric hospitalization among respondents themselves, their family members, or their friends. Respondents answered questions about a vignette character with a mental illness. We found that respondents with contact felt less anger and blame toward the character, thought that the character had a more serious problem, and would want less social distance from the character, including both casual and intimate aspects of social distance. Respondents with contact were not significantly different from the general population in the degree to which they expressed sympathy, thought the problem would last a lifetime, or wanted to restrict reproduction. Thus, contact is associated with having a less ostracizing, critical attitude toward a stranger with mental illness. The results underscore the importance of this experienced group as a resource in fighting stigma in society. Since many people who have had a psychiatric hospitalization have not told their friends or family members about it, this lower-stigma group could be enlarged.
