Public Stigma of Disordered Gambling: Social Distance, Dangerousness, and Familiarity (2008, methodology): “According to the danger appraisal hypothesis, dangerousness is associated with a desire for greater social distance from an individual because it elicits fear ( Corrigan et al., 2003; Link, Phelan, Bresnahan, Stueve, & Pescosolido, 1999).”
Effect of web-based depression literacy and cognitive–behavioural therapy interventions on stigmatising attitudes to depression (2004, background): “…an illness/biomedical model of depression and the strong message that depression is treatable, with the aim (in part) of reducing controllability and stability attributions, since social attribution theory predicts that reducing these attributions should reduce stigma (Corrigan et al, 2000).”
How stigma interferes with mental health care. (2004, background): “On one hand, research suggests there is a nonspecific label effect, implying that people labeled mentally ill, regardless of the specific psychiatric diagnosis or level of disability, are stigmatized more severely than those with other health conditions (Corrigan et al., 2000; Weiner, Magnusson, & P”
Shame, blame, and contamination: A review of the impact of mental illness stigma on family members (2004, background): “Research on the stigma experienced by people with mental illness has found that the public frequently blames them for their symptoms and disabilities (Weiner, Perry, & Magnusson, 1988; Corrigan et al., 2000; Corrigan, Markowitz, & Watson et al., in press).”
Implicit and Explicit Stigmatizing Attitudes and Stereotypes About Depression (2011, methodology): “Prior research has utilized physical illness as a comparison for mental illness and suggests that psychiatric disorders are perceived more negatively than physical disorders (Corrigan et al., 2000; Teachman et al., 2006).”
Public awareness, attitudes and beliefs regarding intellectual disability: a systematic review. (2011, background): “A much better understanding is needed in this area, not least as research in the area of mental health suggests such an understanding can not only highlight targets for public awareness campaigns, but also what messages to avoid (Angermeyer & Matschinger, 2005; Corrigan et al., 2000; Jorm & Griffith”
Lessons from social psychology on discrediting psychiatric stigma. (2015, background): “However, the general public seems to disapprove of persons with severe mental illness significantly more than of persons with physical disabilities like Alzheimers disease, blindness, or paraplegia (Corrigan, River, Lundin, Wasowski, et al,, 1998; Piner & Kahle, 1984; Socall & Holtgraves, 1992; Wein”
Etiological paradigms of depression: The relationship between perceived causes, empowerment, treatment preferences, and stigma (2003, background): “Furthermore, depression is seen as more controllable and stable than other physical illnesses (Corrigan et al., 2000), and not surprisingly depression generates more negative emotions and stereotypes than physical illnesses (Esses & Beaufoy, 1994).”
Interpersonal contact and the stigma of mental illness: A review of the literature (2003, background): “This seems like an impossible standard to live up to; people with SMI are viewed as in control of their condition relative to those with other disabilities (Corrigan et al., 2000), yet are seen as having a poor prognosis (Hayward & Bright, 1997).”
The Public Stigma of Mental Illness and Drug Addiction (2009, result): “Discussion Findings from this study, using a stratified random sample representative of the US population, correspond with similar research done on convenience samples (Corrigan et al., 2000; Weiner et al., 1988).”
Clinical Psychologists' Perceptions of Persons with Mental Illness (2007, background): “…improved over the years (Bhugra, 1989; Skinner, Berry, Griffith, & Byers, 1995), but research indicates that members of the public continue to fear persons with mental illness, blame them for their illness, and underestimate their chances of recovery (Corrigan et al., 2000; Levey & Howells, 1994).”
Mental illness stigma: Concepts, consequences, and initiatives to reduce stigma (2005, background): “Persons with mental illness are more likely to be seen as responsible for causing their illness [22,105].”
Stigma and student mental health in higher education (2010, background): “For some people the stigma of mental illness can cause even more negative impacts than the mental illness itself, with disempowerment occurring on social, cultural, economic and political levels (Corrigan et al., 2000; Link & Phelan, 2006).”
