最近的研究强调了耻辱对少数群体心理健康的不利影响。各国政府和服务机构投入了大量精力来消除针对各种情况的耻辱感。然而，之前对耻辱与心理健康关系的实证研究得出了不确定的结果，从强负相关到零相关。因此，耻辱是否与心理健康显着相关尚待证实。通过荟萃分析，对 49 项实证研究中的耻辱与心理健康之间的关联进行了检查，涵盖了各种耻辱状况和心理健康指数。还探讨了可能的主持人。校正抽样误差、不可靠性和其他伪影后，耻辱感与平均心理健康得分之间的平均相关性为 -.28 (N = 10,567 k = 52)。没有发现强有力的调节因素，但观察到有意义的模式。讨论了结果的含义。 (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
Recent research has emphasized the adverse effects of stigma on minority groups' mental health. Governments and service agencies have put much effort into combating stigma against a variety of conditions. Nevertheless, previous empirical research on the stigma-mental health relationship has yielded inconclusive findings, varying from strong negative to zero correlations. Thus, whether stigma is related significantly to mental health is yet to be confirmed. Using meta-analysis, the associations between stigma and mental health from 49 empirical studies were examined across various stigmatized conditions and mental health indices. Possible moderators were also explored. The mean correlation between stigma and average mental health scores corrected for sampling error, unreliability, and other artifacts was -.28 (N = 10,567 k = 52). No strong moderators were found, yet meaningful patterns were observed. Implications of the results are discussed. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
