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）：这一修订后的申请响应了将心理健康服务研究与社会/行为科学（PA-99-073）相结合的呼吁，通过将媒体、偏见和社会接触理论的见解合并到一个模型中，该模型阐述了社区接触，该模型阐述了社区和个人层面对精神疾病患者（MI）反应的影响。建议的研究侧重于社区方面，探索一种媒体（电视）和一种社会接触（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耻辱感影响的跨学科理论框架（aim I）。其次，我们建议通过以下方式收集媒体信息、耻辱感和社会网络联系的信息：a)编目MI在一种媒体，电视中的流行程度、范围和信息（即积极或消极）的性质，使用内容分析方法分析在七个市场的9个频道录制的1,640个电视小时的现有样本（aim Ila）；b)采用调查研究方法，在具有代表性的区域样本（N=600）中测试MI病耻感相关因素的系统模型，同时确定关键变量测量的效度和可靠性，并在受试者中建立研究变量的基线水平，以进行后续实验检查（Aim lib）。第三，我们建议实证研究MI患者正面和负面形象对个体的生理、认知、态度和情感影响，并建立影响与生产特征之间的关系。我们使用实验方法和量身定制的分析技术来确定Ila中分类的不同信息对社区个人的影响性质（Aim III, n=90）。第四，我们建议研究是否以及如何通过暴露于MI的正面和负面媒体形象的组合来影响MI的耻辱感的变化，以及这些影响是否被先前与MI患者的社会网络接触所调节（目的四）。最后阶段根据I、II和III收集的信息，合成MI的负面和正面电视图像，以制定和开展测试前和测试后的实验设计/分析（N=120）。
