Decreasing the self-stigma of substance use disorder through disclosure and recovery narratives
The role of implicit and self-stigma of depression in mental help-seeking intention among young adults
Stigma surrounding mental health problems significantly hinders help-seeking intentions among young adults. Implicit bias and self-stigma are well documented barriers seeking help. However, a comprehensive model that integrates both implicit and self-stigma on help-seeking intentions has yet to be tested. In this study, we examined the impact of implicit stigma toward depression on help-seeking intentions among young adults, accounting for the me…

How Personal Attitudes About Legalizing Cannabis and Corresponding State Laws Affect the Stigma of Cannabis Use
Attitudes about cannabis use (CU) are changing, as exemplified by laws in some states and the District of Columbia (DC) legalizing medicinal cannabis with or without recreational use. This study contrasts the effect of changes in DC and state laws with ongoing views of CU on the stigma of CU. Two hundred forty-six participants completed measures for this study. After reading a vignette about the current status of legalization across the United St…

Cross-cultural adaptation of four instruments to measure stigma towards people with mental illness and substance use problems among primary care professionals in Chile
Stigma toward people with mental illness and substance use problems is a significant global concern, and prevents people with these conditions from accessing treatment, particularly in primary health care (PHC) settings. Stigma is a cultural phenomenon that is influenced by particular contexts and can differ by country and region. The majority of stigma research focuses on Europe or North America leading to a lack of culturally relevant stigma re…

Intersectionality, Gender, and the Self-Stigma of Mental Illness
Introduction: This study sought to examine self-stigma at the intersection of two identities: mental illness and gender. Methods: Using an MTurk panel, 100 self-identified men and women with and without mental illness (total N = 400) completed the Difference and Disdain Self-Stigma Scale. Results: Significant effects were found for mental illness (participants with mental illness reported greater perceptions of being different from the population…

Cultural adaptation and validation of the Attribution Questionnaire for stigma towards disability pension applicants for use among psychiatrists and general practitioners in Sweden
Findings show that the AQ-S is comparable to the other versions of the AQ and is a reliable measure to assess and monitor stigma among physicians in the Swedish setting. Our study shows that cultural translation does not significantly impact the validity of the questionnaire
Vicarious Stigma and Self-Stigma Experienced by Parents of Children with Mental Health and/or Neurodevelopmental Disorders
The stigma of young children with mental health and/or neurodevelopmental disorders is experienced by their parents in at least two ways: self-stigma and vicarious stigma. Secrecy may diminish stigma through impression management or strategic disclosure. The present study explores the relationship between vicarious stigma, self-stigma, secrecy coping, depression, and quality of life. Additionally, we examine the structure of a novel measure of vi…

Self‐stigma and the mediating impact of the “why try” effect on depression
The “why try” effect, a consequence of self‐stigma, is a sense of behavioral futility that may worsen depression. This study examines the regressive model of self‐stigma, the factor structure of a why try measure, and the pathway through which self‐stigma leads to depression. Data from 291 people self‐identifying with mental illness were collected through an online survey. Participants completed the Why Try Stigma Scale (WTSS) and measures of sel…
How stigma interferes with mental health care
Many people who would benefit from mental health services opt not to pursue them or fail to fully participate once they have begun. One of the reasons for this disconnect is stigma; namely, to avoid the label of mental illness and the harm it brings, people decide not to seek or fully participate in care. Stigma yields 2 kinds of harm that may impede treatment participation: It diminishes self-esteem and robs people of social opportunities. Given…
Lessons from social psychology on discrediting psychiatric stigma
Advocacy, government, and public-service groups rely on a variety of strategies to diminish the impact of stigma on persons with severe mental illness. These strategies include protest, education, and promoting contact between the general public and persons with these disorders. The authors argue that social psychological research on ethnic minority and other group stereotypes should be considered when implementing these strategies. Such research…
An Attribution Model of Public Discrimination Towards Persons with Mental Illness
In this study, we build on previous work by developing and estimating a model of the relationships between causal attributions (e.g., controllability, responsibility), familiarity with mental illness, dangerousness, emotional responses (e.g., pity, anger, fear), and helping and rejecting responses. Using survey data containing responses to hypothetical vignettes, we examine these relationships in a sample of 518 community college students. Consis…

Reducing Self-Stigma by Coming Out Proud
Self-stigma has a pernicious effect on the lives of people with mental illness. Although a medical perspective might discourage patients from identifying with their illness, public disclosure may promote empowerment and reduce self-stigma. We reviewed the extensive research that supports this assertion and assessed a program that might diminish stigma’s effect by helping some people to disclose to colleagues, neighbors, and others their experienc…

Self‐stigma and coming out about one's mental illness
Self‐stigma can undermine self‐esteem and self‐efficacy of people with serious mental illness. Coming out may be one way of handling self‐stigma and it was expected that coming out would mediate the effects of self‐stigma on quality of life. This study compares coming out to other approaches of controlling self‐stigma. Eighty‐five people with serious mental illness completed measures of coming out (called the Coming Out with Mental Illness Scale,…

Changing mental illness stigma as it exists in the real world
Persons with mental illness frequently encounter public stigma. This review seeks to clarify mental illness stigma and discuss methods for changing stigma in the real world. Following an overview of public stigma we discuss the main avenues recognised for changing stigma in the real world: protest, education and contact; and give examples of anti-stigma strategies in practice. Finally, we discuss the most effective method, contact, in greater det…

Place First, Then Train: An Alternative to the Medical Model of Psychiatric Rehabilitation
The medical model has promoted a train-place model for psychiatric rehabilitation. This model carefully trains people with psychiatric disabilities on a range of skills so they can handle real-world demands before placing them in work and independent living situations. More consistent with a social work perspective are place-train programs, which rapidly place people with psychiatric disorders in real-world settings so they can experience the ben…

Mothers' Decisions to Disclose or Conceal Their Child's Mental Health Disorder
Parents of children with mental health disorders are often faced with the dilemma of disclosing or concealing their child's disorder. These decisions have important implications for both child and parent. Our aim is to describe mothers' experiences with the disclosure dilemma; specifically, we describe what is disclosed (or concealed), how, and why, as well as the consequences of these decisions. Data from interviews with 11 mothers of children (…
What Motivates Public Support for Legally Mandated Mental Health Treatment
The use of legal coercion to compel individuals to participate in mental health treatment is expanding despite a lack of empirical support for many of its forms. Policies supporting mandated treatment are made by legislators and judges, often based on perceptions of public concern. Using data from the MacArthur Mental Health Module contained in the 1996 General Social Survey (N = 1,444), the authors examined the impact of political ideology, attr…
Vicarious Stigma and Self-Stigma Experienced by Parents of Children with Mental Health and/or Neurodevelopmental Disorders
The stigma of young children with mental health and/or neurodevelopmental disorders is experienced by their parents in at least two ways: self-stigma and vicarious stigma. Secrecy may diminish stigma through impression management or strategic disclosure. The present study explores the relationship between vicarious stigma, self-stigma, secrecy coping, depression, and quality of life. Additionally, we examine the structure of a novel measure of vi…

The Patient Satisfaction Interview for Partial Hospitalization Programs
The Patient Satisfaction Interview was developed to assess consumers' satisfaction with four dimensions of partial hospitalization programs: the physical environment, the therapists, the treatment strategies, and the preparation for community autonomy. Content validity of the measure was examined and cross-validated by independent samples of expert raters and patients. The measure was then administered to 30 patients participating in a six-month …

Staff burnout in a psychiatric hospital: A cross‐lagged panel design
Previous research has shown that burnout in staff members at psychiatric hospitals is significantly associated with state anxiety and collegial support. The directionality of these relationships may be inferred using a cross‐lagged panel design. To do this, 35 staff members representing various clinical disciplines completed measures of burnout, support, and anxiety twice, eight months apart. Burnout comprised three factors: emotional exhaustion,…

Social cognition in schizophrenia
The study of social cognition in schizophrenia may augment the understanding of clinical and behavioral manifestations of the disorder. In this article, the authors describe social cognition and differentiate it from nonsocial cognition. They garner evidence to support the role of social cognition in schizophrenia: Nonsocial information-processing models are limited to explain social dysfunction in schizophrenia, measures of social cognition may …

Changing Attitudes About Schizophrenia
Research on the effectiveness of short-term education programs in changing societal attitudes about mental illness has been mixed. Education efforts seem to be mediated by characteristics of the program participants. This study determines whether the effects of a specially prepared, semester-long course on severe mental illness are mediated by pre-education knowledge about and contact with severe mental illness. Eighty-three participants who were…

Mental health stigma as social attribution: Implications for research methods and attitude change.
The course and outcomes of mental illness are hampered by stigma and discrimination. Research on controllability attributions has mapped the relationships between signaling events, mediating stigma, emotional reactions, and discriminating behavior. In this article, I describe how an attribution model advances research questions related to mental health stigma in three areas. (1) Stigma research needs to examine signaling events related to psychia…
Stigmatizing attributions about mental illness
Work and housing opportunities of persons with psychosis, substance abuse disorder, and other mental illnesses are significantly hampered by societal stigma. Earlier research by Weiner and colleagues (1988) examined stigmatizing attitudes associated with general health disabilities in terms of attributions about the controllability and stability of these disabilities. The relevance of this model for describing attributions about four psychiatric …
Familiarity With and Social Distance From People Who Have Serious Mental Illness
OBJECTIVES: This study examined the effects of familiarity with and social distance from persons who have serious mental illness on stigmatizing attitudes about mental illness. METHODS: A total of 208 community college students completed three written measures about familiarity, perception of dangerousness, fear, and social distance. Path analysis with manifest-variable structural modeling techniques was used to test a version of a model in which…

Challenging Two Mental Illness Stigmas: Personal Responsibility and Dangerousness
Two stigmatizing attitudes related to dangerousness and personal responsibility may undermine the opportunities of persons with serious mental illness. This study set out to examine path models that explain how these attitudes lead to discriminatory behavior and to assess the impact of antistigma programs on components of personal responsibility and dangerousness models. Two hundred thirteen persons were randomly assigned to one of five antistigm…
The paradox of self-stigma and mental illness.
Published narratives by persons with serious mental illness eloquently describe the harmful effects of stigma on self-esteem and self-efficacy. However, a more careful review of the research literature suggests a paradox; namely, personal reactions to the stigma of mental illness may result in significant loss in self-esteem for some, while others are energized by prejudice and express righteous anger. Added to this complexity is a third group: p…
Illness Management and Recovery: A Review of the Research
Illness management is a broad set of strategies designed to help individuals with serious mental illness collaborate with professionals, reduce their susceptibility to the illness, and cope effectively with their symptoms. Recovery occurs when people with mental illness discover, or rediscover, their strengths and abilities for pursuing personal goals and develop a sense of identity that allows them to grow beyond their mental illness. The author…

Stigma and disclosure: Implications for coming out of the closet
Background: There are costs and benefits for people with psychiatric disorders to decide to disclose publicly these disorders. Aims: The gay and lesbian community has struggled with the same tension and their discoveries about coming out may prove useful for the disclosure concerns of persons with mental illness. Methods: Lessons learned about coming out by the gay and lesbian community include a variety of models that map the stages for successf…
