The Gift of the Magi: A Feminist ApproachMae Selim
This document provides a feminist literary analysis of the short story "The Gift of the Magi" by O. Henry. It identifies two main issues reflected in the story: 1) women were not granted jobs and 2) women felt compelled to impress men. The analysis examines how the female protagonist, Della, is dependent on her husband Jim for financial support and goes to great lengths to please him by selling her hair to buy him a gift. This reflects traditional patriarchal views of women's roles and lack of independence. The images in the story show how social forces at the time impeded women's efforts for equality with men by depriving them of job opportunities and other privileges.

The document discusses behavior management plans and strategies. It states that when students don't follow instructions, it is for one of two reasons: they don't understand the instructions or they choose not to follow them. Effective behavior management involves giving specific, observable instructions and having a consistent plan for consequences when instructions are or aren't followed. Consequences should be certain rather than severe, and instructions must be followed through consistently.

In the essay “On Being a Cripple”, Nancy Mairs shares her experiences, attitudes towards life as a multiple sclerosis patient. First, she claims that the diseases she has faced are brain tumor and MS, and those diseases literally changed her fate. The relationships of her family member and the attitude of Nancy’s mother have affected by MS. Also, she writes about her identities in society, her friends who have the same physical issue, thoughts from disabled parents’ children, and her desire to travel. MS affected Nancy Mairs’s family member as well as her thoughts.
Subjective Socioeconomic Status Causes Aggression: A Test of the Theory
of Social Deprivation
Tobias Greitemeyer and Christina Sagioglou
University of Innsbruck
Seven studies (overall N � 3690) addressed the relation between people’s subjective socioeconomic
status (SES) and their aggression levels. Based on relative deprivation theory, we proposed that people
low in subjective SES would feel at a disadvantage, which in turn would elicit aggressive responses. In
3 correlational studies, subjective SES was negatively related to trait aggression. Importantly, this
relation held when controlling for measures that are related to 1 or both subjective SES and trait
aggression, such as the dark tetrad and the Big Five. Four experimental studies then demonstrated that
participants in a low status condition were more aggressive than were participants in a high status
condition. Compared with a medium-SES condition, participants of low subjective SES were more
aggressive rather than participants of high subjective SES being less aggressive. Moreover, low SES
increased aggressive behavior toward targets that were the source for participants’ experience of
disadvantage but also toward neutral targets. Sequential mediation analyses suggest that the experience
of disadvantage underlies the effect of subjective SES on aggressive affect, whereas aggressive affect was
the proximal determinant of aggressive behavior. Taken together, the present research found compre-
hensive support for key predictions derived from the theory of relative deprivation of how the perception
of low SES is related to the person’s judgments, emotional reactions, and actions.

In most Western societies, wealth inequality is at its historic
height. For example, in the United States, the richest 1% possesses
more than 40% of the country’s wealth (Wolff, 2012). In Germany,
the biggest economy in the European Union, the median household
in the top 20% of the income class has 74 times more wealth than
the bottom 20% (European Central Bank, 2013). Although there is
widespread consensus among citizens that wealth inequality
should be reduced (Kiatpongsan & Norton, 2014; Norton & Ari-
ely, 2011), the wealth gap is actually increasing. For example, in
the United States, in 2012 the top 0.1% (including ...

Summary
Introduction
As many of you have noted in your discussion posts, mental health stigma is a pervasive problem that profoundly affects the lives of those suffering from mental illness. Aided by newspapers, books, movies and television, persons with mental illness have been portrayed and perceived as persons with bad character, demonically possessed, weak, unpredictable, and violent. As a result, many people have separated themselves from those with mental illness out of “distrust, stereotyping, fear, embarrassment, anger and/or avoidance.” (Surgeon General’s Report, 1999).
While some progress has been made in the past 50 years, stigma (often referred to as discrimination) continues to be a significant barrier to persons with mental illness. As we have seen in our readings, several recent documents have given prominence to the issue of stigma. In SAMSHA’s 2011 strategic plan “Leading Change: A Plan for SAMHSA’s Roles and Actions, 2011-2014”, Goal 4.3.2 is to “create a behavioral health awareness campaign focused on decreasing discrimination and improving employment outcomes for persons with mental and substance use disorders.” (p. 59).

IMPLICATIONS FOR TRAUMA-INFORMED CARE12Implications for Trauma-InMalikPinckney86
The study aims to examine the relationship between adverse childhood trauma and dissociation in male offenders. It will utilize a qualitative research approach and correlational research design involving 30 participants from two county correctional facilities. Questionnaires will be used to measure experiences of childhood trauma and levels of dissociation. The study expects to find a positive relationship between childhood trauma and dissociation among male offenders, which would indicate the need for trauma-informed care approaches when treating this population.
This document summarizes two research studies on social groups and intergroup relations. The first study examined how presenting an in-group as resilient to threats can strengthen group identification and life satisfaction. The second study compared theories of prejudice and stereotyping in relations between Japanese, North Korean, and South Korean groups. It found that negative stereotypes lead to feelings of threat that then mediate levels of prejudice between groups, rather than stereotypes directly causing threat themselves. The document also includes the author's opinions agreeing and critiquing aspects of both studies.
This study examined predictors of suicide attempts among adolescents attending Seventh-day Adventist schools in the US. It found depression to be the strongest predictor of suicide attempts. Having a negative family climate and less caring parenting also predicted higher rates of suicide attempts, while intrinsic religious orientation predicted lower rates. A survey of over 10,000 students found that depression, family relationships, parenting styles, and religious commitment were significant factors influencing suicidal ideation among this conservative religious group.
Role of Parental Acceptance and Self-Esteem on Suicidal Ideation among young ...AJHSSR Journal
This study examined the relationship between parental acceptance, self-esteem, and suicidal ideation among young adults in Bangladesh. 112 young adults aged 17-24 completed questionnaires measuring their perceptions of parental acceptance, self-esteem, and suicidal thoughts. The study found no significant gender differences in these variables. Higher levels of perceived parental acceptance and self-esteem were associated with lower levels of suicidal ideation. The findings suggest that strong family bonds and positive self-esteem may help reduce suicidal thoughts among young people.
This document analyzes how peers label and stigmatize other youth with mental illness using Modified Labeling Theory. It finds that self-labeling predicts negative outcomes for youth but some refuse clinical labels. Anti-stigma campaigns using contact with those with mental illness and youth-led initiatives show effectiveness, though effects may decline after the program ends. The theory is then used to evaluate components of anti-stigma campaigns.
- The document summarizes a study that investigated the relationship between personality traits, psychological well-being, and enjoyment of horror films.
- It administered several questionnaires measuring personality, anxiety/depression, and horror film preferences to 20 university students aged 18-26.
- The results found significant correlations between high neuroticism, low openness, and lower psychological well-being. It also found that lower psychological well-being was correlated with less empathy for victims in horror films. However, the study found no significant relationships between personality traits and enjoyment of horror films.

This document summarizes research on discrimination, race, gender, and attenuated positive psychotic symptoms (APPS) in college students. A study of over 1,600 black and white college students found that black students reported more discrimination and endorsed more APPS, regardless of gender. The study also found a gender difference in APPS among black students that was partially mediated by reported discrimination. In general, the document reviews literature showing that ethnic minorities and those who experience discrimination may be at higher risk for subclinical psychotic symptoms.

1) Please describe a time where you have felt that someone else has unfairly judged you based on the way you look, or because of a group membership you belong to (e.g., religious, political, sexual orientation, ethnic, etc.).
2) How did this make you feel about yourself? (Please be detailed in your response)
3) How did this make you feel about the person who incorrectly passed judgment on you? (please be detailed in your response)
4) Describe a time when you unfairly stereotyped an individual from a different culture? How did this make you feel once you realized you unfairly judged them?
N
umerous studies over the past two
decades suggest that when individuals
are diagnosed with a mental illness,
they are placed into a cultural category (e.g.,
“a mentally ill person”) that damages their
material, social, and psychological well-being
(e.g., Link 1987; Link et al. 1989; Markowitz
1998; Rosenfield 1997). According to the
modified labeling theory of mental illness
(Link 1987; Link et al. 1989), the negative
consequences of psychiatric labeling arise
through two social psychological processes.
First, when an individual is diagnosed with a
mental illness, cultural ideas associated with
the mentally ill (e.g., incompetent, dangerous)
become personally relevant and foster nega-
tive self-feelings. Second, these personally rel-
evant cultural meanings are transformed into
expectations that others will reject the individ-
ual, expectations that trigger defensive behav-
iors aimed at preventing that rejection: con-
cealing treatment history, educating others
about mental illness, and/or withdrawing from
social interaction. Ironically, however, these
defensive behaviors are linked with harmful
outcomes: a reduced social network, higher
rates of unemployment, and feelings of
demoralization (Link et al. 1989, 1991).1
Thus, diagnostic labeling is predicted to have
a negative effect on self-feelings, and it is
expected to trigger defensive reactions that
create a type of “secondary deviance,” further
damaging patients’ social interactions, occu-
pational success, and self-image.
We examine the first of these two process-
es in this study. Specifically, we examine the
way that the cultural conceptions of the men-
tally ill are related to patients’ self-feelings.
And, unlike other investigations of this rela-
tionship (e.g., Kroska and Harkness 2006;
Link 1987), we explore the way that diagnos-
tic category (adjustment, affective, or schizo-
phrenic) shapes the association; that is, we

Peer Acceptance and the Emotional Well-Being of DisabledAbigail Burmeister
This document summarizes a study about how knowing someone with a disability affects acceptance of others with disabilities and how acceptance impacts emotional well-being. The study found that people who know someone with a disability are more accepting of others. Previous research also found peer acceptance is important for emotional well-being of those with disabilities. The study measured acceptance by asking if respondents would be friends with someone who has a disability and found those who know someone with a disability were more likely to say yes.

The journal represent psychology by studying changes in the mind and psychology through exploration of health worsening and quality of life. Gender nonconformity refers to a scenario where individuals exhibit characteristics that are common with the opposite gender. Gender nonconforming persons complain of discrimination from both sides of gender. The study identified everyday stressors facing gender non-conforming persons, which were compared to health-related quality of life (HRQRL) while focusing on young people as respondents.
Research findings revealed that gender nonconformity was directly related to several social problems such as discernment that may lead to the development of mental illnesses. Respondents identified; depression, discomfort, unusual activity, and mobility obstinacy as common problems they go through. The study recommended an aggregated initiative from all social quarters to put up efforts focused awareness on gender nonconformity. In relation to the research question, gender non-conformity on of the reasons why young people are discriminated. To deal with stigma and discernment, aggregated efforts are required to promote awareness and change a social behavior.

The article studies human behaviors, human culture and functioning of the mind, touching on three disciplines; anthropology, psychology and sociology. People with a mental health condition suffer from discrimination from the public a vice that bumps their road to recovery. Upon recovery, the society offer a cold shoulder hampering their repatriate to social status. The study inspected the psychometrics of several assessments of supposed transformation from an individual through mental illness. A comparison of mental illness and other ailments was done and basis of supposed dissimilarity scale were likened.
The results revealed a positive relationship between differential scores and stereotypes and a negative correlation with affirming attitudes. In conclusion, the study showed an efficient ration of stigma change where individuals have gone through mental illness as their perception shift following their experience. Outcomes from the experiment offer remedy the research question. Human form discriminating tendencies based on accounts they have not experien.
This document summarizes several research studies that examined risk and protective factors for depression and anxiety among college students. Key findings include:
1) A study of undergraduate students found that those with more severe depression symptoms and anxiety were more likely to experience suicidal ideation. Another study found anxiety to be the strongest predictor of depression in college students.
2) A study of undergraduate and graduate students found a significant positive correlation between high perfectionism scores and both depression and anxiety.
3) A study of undergraduate students found that those using maladaptive coping strategies and having lower life satisfaction were more likely to experience depression and anxiety.
4) A study of graduate psychology students found high levels of stress from academic pressures and finances
Article 2 Direct And Indirect Intergroup Friendship(Real I Hope)socialprejudice2008
The article examines how direct and indirect intergroup friendships can moderate prejudice based on whether prejudice has predominantly affective or cognitive bases. Three studies found that:
1) Direct friendships more strongly reduced prejudice towards groups eliciting affective responses, while indirect friendships more strongly reduced prejudice towards cognitively-based groups.
2) Direct friendships reduced prejudice more for individuals with affective prejudice bases; indirect friendships reduced prejudice more for those with cognitive bases.
3) A third study of Catholics and Protestants replicated these moderation effects on measures of trust and action tendencies, providing further support. Intimate contact through both direct and indirect friendships can benefit intergroup relations.
1) The study compares core beliefs between patients with social phobia, other anxiety disorders, and non-psychiatric controls by having them complete a schema questionnaire.
2) Results found that patients with social phobia showed higher levels of early maladaptive schemas (EMS) related to disconnection/rejection compared to those with other anxiety disorders.
3) Regression analysis identified the EMS of mistrust/abuse, social undesirability/defectiveness, entitlement, emotional deprivation, unrelenting standards and shame as explaining most of the variance in anxiety felt in social situations and fear of negative evaluation in the study subjects.
The document discusses the impact of stigma on family members of individuals with mental illness or drug dependence. It finds that:
1) Family members report experiencing blame, shame, and feeling socially contaminated due to their relation's condition. However, no national survey had assessed how the general public actually views these family members.
2) The study finds that family stigma related to drug dependence is viewed more harshly than other health conditions, with family members being blamed for both the onset and worsening of the relative's disorder and likely to face social shunning.
3) In contrast, family stigma related to mental illnesses like schizophrenia is not highly endorsed by the public according to the survey results.

1. Writing a Short Literature Review
William Ashton, Ph.D.
York College, CUNY
A student began a short literature review on the stigma of the mentally ill and
perceptions of dangerousness. Working through PsychArticles she found three
likely articles. When she read each, she wrote a paragraph description of each:
Alexander, L.A., & Link, B.G. (2003). The impact of contact on stigmatizing
attitudes towards people with mental illness. Journal of Mental Health, 12,
271-289.
Alexander and Link (2003) examined the stigma of mental illness,
perceptions of dangerousness and social distance in a telephone survey. They
found that, as a participant’s own life contact with mentally ill individuals
increased, participants were both less likely to perceive a target mentally ill
individual in a vignette as physically dangerous and less likely to desire social
distance from the target. This relationship remained after controlling for
demographic and confound variables, such as gender, ethnicity, education,
income and political conservatism. They also found that any type of contact –
with a friend, a spouse, a family member, a work contact, or a contact in a public
place – with mentally ill individuals reduced perceptions of dangerousness of the
target in the vignette.
Corrigan, P. W., Rowan, D., Green, A., Lundin, R., River, P., Uphoff-Wasowski, K.,
White, K., & Kubiak, M.A. (2002). Challenging two mental illness stigmas:
Personality responsibility and dangerousness. Schizophrenia Bulletin, 28,
293-309.
Corrigan, Rowan, Green, Lundin, River, Uphoff-Wasowski, White and
Kubiak (2002) conducted two studies to investigate the strength of the theoretical
relationship between stigma and personality responsibility, and stigma and
dangerousness. Corrigan et al. posited two models to account for stigmatizing
reactions. In the first model, labeled personal responsibility, personality
responsibility influences both the level of pity and anger displayed toward mental
patients. Additionally, the variables of pity and anger influence helping behavior.
In the second model, labeled dangerousness, perceived dangerousness
influences fear of mental patients, which in turn influences the avoidance of the
mentally ill.
In their first study, Corrigan etal. (2002), administered a questionnaire to
216 community college students. This questionnaire contained items which
would allow the examination of the two models. The results of a path analysis
indicated that while both models fit the data, the results for the dangerousness
2. model seemed far more consistent with the data. Their second study was an
attempt to manipulate variables in the models. Participants met with either an
educational group or a mental patient. During the meetings, either myths about
the personality responsibility or the dangerousness of mental patients were
discussed and debunked. While education yielded some positive results, contact
with mental patients produced stronger results.
Martin, J. K., Pescosolido, B. A., & Tuch, S. A. (2000). Of fear and loathing: The
role of ‘disturbing behavior’ labels, and causal attributions in shaping
public attitudes toward people with mental illness. Journal of Health and
Social Behavior, 41, 208-223.
Martin, Pescosolido & Tuch (2000) examined the effects of descriptions of
the targets’ behavior, causal attributions about the source of the behavior, the
target’s perceived dangerousness, labeling and participants’ sociodemographic
characteristics. Twenty percent of the participants labeled a target described with
depressed symptoms as having a mental illness (as compared with 54% for those
described with schizophrenic symptoms or 1% with normal troubles); 37% would
be unwilling to interact with the depressed person (48% for the schizophrenic and
21% for normal troubles); and 33% felt that the depressed person would do
violence to others (61% for the schizophrenic and 17% for the normal troubles).
Next she decided upon the order of the paragraphs in the paper:
Martin, Pescosolido & Tuch (2000) examined the effects of descriptions of the
targets’ behavior, causal attributions about the source of the behavior, the target’s
perceived dangerousness, labeling and participants’ sociodemographic
characteristics. Twenty percent of the participants labeled a target described with
depressed symptoms as having a mental illness (as compared with 54% for those

be unwilling to interact with the depressed person (48% for the schizophrenic and
21% for normal troubles); and 33% felt that the depressed person would do
violence to others (61% for the schizophrenic and 17% for the normal troubles).
3. Alexander and Link (2003) examined the stigma of mental illness,
perceptions of dangerousness and social distance in a telephone survey. They
found that, as a participant’s own life contact with mentally ill individuals
increased, participants were both less likely to perceive a target mentally ill
individual in a vignette as physically dangerous and less likely to desire social
distance from the target. This relationship remained after controlling for
demographic and confound variables, such as gender, ethnicity, education,
income and political conservatism. They also found that any type of contact –
with a friend, a spouse, a family member, a work contact, or a contact in a public
place – with mentally ill individuals reduced perceptions of dangerousness of the
target in the vignette.
Corrigan, Rowan, Green, Lundin, River, Uphoff-Wasowski, White and
Kubiak (2002) conducted two studies to investigate the strength of the theoretical
relationship between stigma and personality responsibility, and stigma and
dangerousness. Corrigan et al. posited two models to account for stigmatizing
reactions. In the first model, labeled personal responsibility, personality
responsibility influences both the level of pity and anger displayed toward mental
patients. Additionally, the variables of pity and anger influence helping behavior.
In the second model, labeled dangerousness, perceived dangerousness
influences fear of mental patients, which in turn influences the avoidance of the
mentally ill.
In their first study, Corrigan etal. (2002), administered a questionnaire to
216 community college students. This questionnaire contained items which
4. would allow the examination of the two models. The results of a path analysis
indicated that while both models fit the data, the results for the dangerousness
model seemed far more consistent with the data. Their second study was an
attempt to manipulate variables in the models. Participants met with either an
educational group or a mental patient. During the meetings, either myths about
the personality responsibility or the dangerousness of mental patients were
discussed and debunked. While education yielded some positive results, contact
with mental patients produced stronger results.
She carefully chose the order of the paragraphs so she could talk about: (1) that
people respond to the mentally ill with fear and rejection, (2) contact reduces both
rejection and fear and (3) how to best arrange the contact to reduce stigma.
Now she added introductory and concluding sentences, paragraph hooks and
short transition paragraphs to help the flow of ideas.
Regarding the mentally ill, it appears that people respond to the mentally ill
with feelings of fear and rejection. Martin, Pescosolido & Tuch (2000) examined
the effects of descriptions of the targets’ behavior, causal attributions about the
source of the behavior, the target’s perceived dangerousness, labeling and
participants’ sociodemographic characteristics. Twenty percent of the
participants labeled a target described with depressed symptoms as having a
mental illness (as compared with 54% for those described with schizophrenic
symptoms or 1% with normal troubles); 37% would be unwilling to interact with
the depressed person (48% for the schizophrenic and 21% for normal troubles);
and 33% felt that the depressed person would do violence to others (61% for the
5. schizophrenic and 17% for the normal troubles). Thus, a common respond to the
mentally ill are rejection and fear of violence.
While, based upon research, the common response to a mentally ill person
is to fear violence, diagnosed mental patients commit violence at the same rates
as non-diagnosed people (Martin, et al., 2000). Public perceptions may not match
reality due to the public’s lack of contact with the mentally ill.
Alexander and Link (2003) examined contact with the mentally ill and the
stigma of mental illness, perceptions of dangerousness and social distance in a
telephone survey. They found that, as a participant’s own life contact with
mentally ill individuals increased, participants were both less likely to perceive a
target mentally ill individual in a vignette as physically dangerous and less likely
to desire social distance from the target. This relationship remained after
controlling for demographic and confound variables, such as gender, ethnicity,
education, income and political conservatism. They also found that any type of
contact – with a friend, a spouse, a family member, a work contact, or a contact in
a public place – with mentally ill individuals reduced perceptions of
dangerousness of the target in the vignette. Thus, according to Alexander and
Link (2003), any contact with the mentally ill is associated with reduced fear and
rejection. However, since this study was observational in nature, we cannot know
if contact reduces fear or having lower fear increased contact.
Corrigan, Rowan, Green, Lundin, River, Uphoff-Wasowski, White and
Kubiak (2002) conducted two studies examining the causal processes in contact,
fear and rejection. Corrigan et al. posited two models to account for stigmatizing
6. reactions. In the first model, labeled personal responsibility, beliefs about
personality responsibility influences both the level of pity and anger displayed
toward mental patients. Additionally, the variables of pity and anger influence
helping behavior. In the second model, labeled dangerousness, perceived
dangerousness influences fear of mental patients, which in turn influences the
avoidance of the mentally ill.
In their first study, Corrigan et al. (2002) administered a questionnaire to
216 community college students. This questionnaire contained items which
would allow the examination of the two models. The results of a path analysis
indicated that while both models fit the data, the results for the dangerousness
model seemed far more consistent with the data. Their second study was an
attempt to manipulate variables in the models. Participants met with either an
educational group or with a mental patient. During the meetings, myths about the
personality responsibility or the dangerousness of mental patients were
discussed and debunked. While education yielded some positive results
regarding fear and rejection, contact with mental patients produced stronger
results. Thus, Corrigan et al. demonstrated that contact causes less rejection and
fear.
In the final stage, she needs to write an introductory and concluding paragraph.
She wrote the concluding paragraph first. In this paragraph she needs to
overview the paper and make a conclusion.
It appears that the mentally ill are rejected because of the public’s fear of the
mentally ill. At least one-third of the people sampled in one study said that they
would both reject socially and fear violence from someone displaying behaviors
7. associated with different mentally illnesses. Other research discovered that this
rejection is associated to lack of contact with the mentally ill and that as contact
increased, fear of the mentally ill decreased. The direction of the relationship
between fear and rejection seems to be that fear (possibly based upon myths
about mental illness) causes rejection. Taken as a whole, it appears that
exposing these myths as myths increases the acceptance of the mentally ill and
that staged contact with a mentally person to expose myths has an even more
powerful effect.
Now she needs to say something about the research methods.
Caution must be advised, though; Martin et al.’s (2002) and Alexander and Link’s
(2003) studies and the first study of Corrigan et al. (2002) were based upon paper
and pencil methodologies. And while Corrigan et al.’s (2002) second study
involved staged presentations, it was conducted in a college setting with a college
sample. Future research should replicate these findings in more natural settings
with different populations.
The student then brought her draft to me. After I read it I asked her about the first
sentence of her conclusion. I asked her if she could phrase it as a clear and
strong statement. She did:
The rejection of the mentally ill is caused by the public’s belief in myths about the
dangerousness of the mentally ill and exposing those myths can reduce rejection.

8. The mentally ill face a multitude of challenges. One of those challenges is the
stigmatization they face. Stigmatization is social rejection; they are rejected by
people because of the label they carry or that their behaviors clearly indicate that
they belong to a certain labeled group. Stigmatization of the mentally ill is caused
by the public’s belief in myths about the dangerousness of the mentally ill and
exposing those myths can reduce stigmatization.

The mentally ill face a multitude of challenges. One of
those challenges is the stigmatization they face.
Stigmatization is social rejection; those stigmatized are
rejected by people because of the label they carry or that their
behaviors clearly indicate that they belong to a certain labeled
group. Stigmatization of the mentally ill is caused by the
public’s belief in myths about the dangerousness of the mentally
ill and exposing those myths can reduce stigmatization.
Regarding the mentally ill, it appears that people respond
to the mentally ill with feelings of fear and rejection.
Martin, Pescosolido & Tuch (2000)4
examined the effects of
descriptions of the targets’ behavior, causal attributions about
the source of the behavior, the target’s perceived
dangerousness, labeling and participants’ sociodemographic
characteristics. Twenty percent of the participants labeled a
target described with depressed symptoms as having a mental
illness (as compared with 54% for those described with
schizophrenic symptoms or 1% with normal troubles); 37% would be
unwilling to interact with the depressed person (48% for the
schizophrenic and 21% for normal troubles); and 33% felt that
the depressed person would do violence to others (61% for the

schizophrenic and 17% for the normal troubles). Thus, a common
respond to the mentally ill are rejection and fear of violence.
While, based upon research, the common response to a
mentally ill person is to fear violence, diagnosed mental
patients commit violence at the same rates as non-diagnosed
people (Martin, et al., 2000)5
. Public perceptions may not match
reality due to the public’s lack of contact with the mentally
ill.
Alexander and Link (2003) examined contact with the
mentally ill and the stigma of mental illness, perceptions of
dangerousness and social distance in a telephone survey. They
found that, as a participant’s own life contact with mentally
ill individuals increased, participants were both less likely to
perceive a target mentally ill individual in a vignette as
physically dangerous and less likely to desire social distance
from the target. This relationship remained after controlling
for demographic and confound variables, such as gender,
ethnicity, education, income and political conservatism. They
also found that any type of contact – with a friend, a spouse, a
family member, a work contact, or a contact in a public place –
with mentally ill individuals reduced perceptions of
dangerousness of the target in the vignette. Thus, according to

Alexander and Link (2003), any contact with the mentally ill is
associated with reduced fear and rejection. However, since this
study was observational in nature, we cannot know if contact
reduces fear or having lower fear increased contact.
Corrigan, Rowan, Green, Lundin, River, Uphoff-Wasowski,
White and Kubiak (2002) conducted two studies examining the
causal processes in contact, fear and rejection. Corrigan et
al. posited two models to account for stigmatizing reactions.
In the first model, labeled personal responsibility, beliefs
about personality responsibility influences both the level of
pity and anger displayed toward mental patients. Additionally,
the variables of pity and anger influence helping behavior. In
the second model, labeled dangerousness, perceived dangerousness
influences fear of mental patients, which in turn influences the
avoidance of the mentally ill.
In their first study, Corrigan et al. (2002) administered a
questionnaire to 216 community college students. This
questionnaire contained items which would allow the examination
of the two models. The results of a path analysis indicated
that while both models fit the data, the results for the
dangerousness model seemed far more consistent with the data.
Their second study was an attempt to manipulate variables in the
models. Participants met with either an educational group or
with a mental patient. During the meetings, myths about the
13. Myths of violence 5
personality responsibility or the dangerousness of mental
patients were discussed and debunked. While education yielded
some positive results regarding fear and rejection, contact with
mental patients produced stronger results. Thus, Corrigan et
al. demonstrated that contact causes less rejection and fear.
Stigmatization of the mentally ill is caused by the
public’s belief in myths about the dangerousness of the mentally
ill and exposing those myths can reduce stigmatization. At
least one-third of the people sampled in one study said that
they would both reject socially and fear violence from someone
displaying behaviors associated with different mentally
illnesses. Other research discovered that this rejection is
associated to lack of contact with the mentally ill and that as
contact increased, fear of the mentally ill decreased. The
direction of the relationship between fear and rejection seems
to be that fear (possibly based upon myths about mental illness)
causes rejection. Taken as a whole, it appears that exposing
these myths as myths increases the acceptance of the mentally
ill and that staged contact with a mentally person to expose
myths has an even more powerful effect. Caution must be
advised, though; Martin et al.’s (2002) and Alexander and Link’s
(2003) studies and the first study of Corrigan et al. (2002)
were based upon paper and pencil methodologies. And while
Corrigan et al.’s (2002) second study involved staged

presentations, it was conducted in a college setting with a
college sample. Future research should replicate these findings
in more natural settings with different populations.
