Abstract

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 and disdain themselves because of that) but not for gender or the interaction. Discussion: Failure to find intersectionality may reflect classic findings from social psychological research that suggests people do not necessarily diminish self-esteem because of socio-demographic identity (I am a woman or African American). Future studies need to test for an intersection effect for public stigma.

交叉性、性别与精神疾病的自我污名

引言：这项研究试图在精神疾病和性别这两种身份的交叉点上检验自我污名。方法：使用MTurk小组，100名自我认同的患有和不患有精神疾病的男性和女性（总N=400）完成了差异和蔑视自我污名量表。结果：发现对精神疾病有显著影响（患有精神疾病的参与者报告称，他们更倾向于与人群不同，并因此而鄙视自己），但对性别或互动没有影响。讨论：未能发现交叉性可能反映了社会心理学研究的经典发现，该研究表明，人们不一定会因为社会人口特征而降低自尊（我是女性或非裔美国人）。未来的研究需要检验公众污名的交叉效应。

期刊介绍： This journal is devoted to the application of theory and research from social psychology toward the better understanding of human adaptation and adjustment, including both the alleviation of psychological problems and distress (e.g., psychopathology) and the enhancement of psychological well-being among the psychologically healthy. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) traditionally defined psychopathology (e.g., depression), common emotional and behavioral problems in living (e.g., conflicts in close relationships), the enhancement of subjective well-being, and the processes of psychological change in everyday life (e.g., self-regulation) and professional settings (e.g., psychotherapy and counseling). Articles reporting the results of theory-driven empirical research are given priority, but theoretical articles, review articles, clinical case studies, and essays on professional issues are also welcome. Articles describing the development of new scales (personality or otherwise) or the revision of existing scales are not appropriate for this journal.
