DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This revised application responds to calls to integrate mental health services research with social/behavioral science (PA-99-073) by merging insights from theories of media, prejudice, and social contact into a model which elaborates community contact into a model which elaborates community and individual-level influences on reactions to persons with mental illness (MI). The proposed study focuses on the community side, exploring the nature and influence of one type of media (television), and one type of social contact (personal contact). We propose four specific aims. First, we aim to refine an inter-disciplinary theoretical framework of the community and individual-level influences on MI stigma (Aim I) Second, we propose to collect information on media messages, stigma, and social network contact by a) cataloguing the prevalence, range and nature of messages (i.e., positive or negative) of MI in one medium, television, using content analysis methods to analyze an existing sample of 1,640 TV hours taped for 9 channels in seven markets (Aim Ila), and b) employing survey research methods, to test a systematic model of the correlates of MI stigma in a representative regional sample (N=600), simultaneously determining the validity and reliability of measures of crucial variables and establishing baseline levels on study variables among subjects for subsequent experimental examinations (Aim lib). Third, we propose to empirically examine the physiological, cognitive, attitudinal, and emotional impact of positive and negative images of persons with MI on individuals and to establish the relationships between impact and production features. We use experimental methods and tailored analytical techniques to ascertain the nature of the impact of different messages catalogued in Ila, on individuals from the community (Aim III, n=90). Fourth, we propose to examine if and how change in MI stigma is affected by exposure to a composite of positive and negative media images of MI, and if these effects are moderated by previous social network contact with persons with MI (Aim IV). This final stage creates a composite of negative and positive TV images of MI based on information collected in I, II and III to develop and carry out a pre- and post-test experimental design/analysis (N=120).

描述（由申请人提供）：此修订后的应用程序响应号召，将心理健康服务研究与社会/行为科学（PA-99-073）相结合，将媒体，偏见和社会接触理论的见解合并到一个模型中，该模型将社区接触阐述为一个模型，该模型阐述了社区和个人层面对精神疾病（MI）患者反应的影响。拟议的研究侧重于社区方面，探索一种类型的媒体（电视）和一种类型的社会接触（个人接触）的性质和影响。我们提出了四个具体目标。首先，我们的目标是完善社区和个人层面对MI污名影响的跨学科理论框架（目标I）其次，我们建议通过以下方式收集有关媒体信息、污名和社交网络联系的信息：a）对信息的流行程度、范围和性质进行编目（即，积极或消极）的MI在一个媒体，电视，使用内容分析方法来分析现有的样本1,640电视小时录制的9个频道在7个市场（目的IIa），和B）采用调查研究方法，以测试系统模型的相关性MI耻辱在一个代表性的区域样本（N=600），同时确定关键变量测量的有效性和可靠性，并在受试者中建立研究变量的基线水平，用于随后的实验检查（Aim lib）。第三，我们建议实证研究的生理，认知，态度和情感的积极和消极的形象与MI个人的影响，并建立影响和生产功能之间的关系。我们使用实验方法和量身定制的分析技术，以确定不同的信息编目在Ila的影响的性质，对个人从社会（目的III，n=90）。第四，我们建议研究MI污名的变化是否以及如何受到MI的正面和负面媒体形象的影响，以及这些影响是否受到与MI患者（目标IV）的先前社交网络接触的影响。这最后一个阶段根据I、II和III中收集的信息创建MI的阴性和阳性TV图像的复合物，以开发并进行测试前和测试后的实验设计/分析（N=120）。
