هدفت هذه الدراسة إلى استكشاف اتجاهات طلبة جامعة عبد الحميد مهري قسنطينة 2 نحو المرض النفسي، وعلاقتها بمتغيرات التخصص والجنس والمستوى الجامعي. اعتمدت الدراسة المنهج الوصفي التحليلي، مستخدمة مقياس الاتجاهات نحو المرض النفسي لجمع البيانات، وتم تحليلها باستخدام تحليل التباين المتعدد (MANOVA). أظهرت النتائج عدم وجود فروق دالة إحصائيًا بين الجنسين في الاتجاهات نحو المرض النفسي، وعدم وجود تأثير للتفاعل بين الجنس والتخصص. كما تبين أن اتجاهات طلبة ماستر 2 علم النفس العيادي كانت أكثر إيجابية مقارنة بطلبة التخصصات الأخرى والمستويات الدراسية الأدنى. أشارت النتائج عمومًا إلى ارتفاع متوسطات اتجاهات أفراد العينة نحو المرض النفسي. This study aimed to explore the attitudes of students of Abdelhamid Mehri University Constantine 2 towards mental illness, and its relationship with the variables of specialization, gender, and university level. The study adopted the descriptive-analytical approach, using the attitudes towards mental illness scale to collect data, and was analyzed using multiple analysis of variance (MANOVA). The results showed that there were no statistically significant differences between genders in attitudes towards mental illness, and there was no interaction effect between gender and major. It was also found that Master 2 clinical psychology students' attitudes were more positive compared to students of other majors and lower levels of study. Overall, the results indicated high averages of the sample members' attitudes towards mental illness. الكلمات المفتاحية المرض النفسي؛ اتجاهات الطلبة؛ التخصص الدراسي؛ المستوى الجامعي؛ الصحة النفسية.

Abstract:

This study aimed to explore the attitudes of students of Abdelhamid Mehri University

Constantine 2 towards mental illness, and its relationship with the variables of

specialization, gender, and university level. The study adopted the descriptive-analytical

approach, using the attitudes towards mental illness scale to collect data, and was

analyzed using multiple analysis of variance (MANOVA). The results showed that there

were no statistically significant differences between genders in attitudes towards mental

illness, and there was no interaction effect between gender and major. It was also found

that Master 2 clinical psychology students' attitudes were more positive compared to

students of other majors and lower levels of study. Overall, the results indicated high

averages of the sample members' attitudes towards mental illness.

Attitudes and Attitude Change

Article

Full-text available

Aug 2017

This review covers research on attitudes and attitude change published between 2010 and 2017. We characterize this period as one of significant progress toward an understanding of how attitudes form and change in three critical contexts. The first context is the person, as attitudes change in connection to values, general goals, language, emotions, and human development. The second context is social relationships, which link attitude change to the communicator of persuasive messages, the social media, and culture. The third context is sociohistorical and highlights the influence of unique events, including sociopolitical, economic, and climatic occurrences. In conclusion, many important recent findings reflect the fact that holism, with a focus on situating attitudes within their personal, social, and historical contexts, has become the zeitgeist of attitude research during this period. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Psychology Volume 69 is January 4, 2018. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.

Empirical validation of affect, behavior, and cognition as distinct components of attitude

Steven Breckler

Evaluated the validity of a prevalent model of attitude structure that specifies 3 components: affect, behavior, and cognition. Five conditions needed for properly testing the 3-component distinction were identified. Consideration of the tripartite model's theoretical basis indicated that the most important validating conditions are (a) the use of nonverbal, in addition to verbal, measures of affect and behavior; and (b) the physical presence of the attitude object. Study 1--in which 138 undergraduates attitudes toward snakes were examined, through the use of measures such as the Mood Adjective Check List, semantic differential, and distance of approach--indicated very strong support for this tripartite model. The model was statistically acceptable, its relative fit was very good, and the intercomponent correlations were moderate. Study 2, with 105 Ss, was a verbal report analog of Study 1. Results from Study 2 indicate that higher intercomponent correlations occurred when attitude measures derived solely from verbal reports and when the attitude object was not physically present.

The Impact of Mental Illness Stigma on Seeking and Participating in Mental Health Care

Article

Oct 2014
Psychol Sci Publ Interest

Treatments have been developed and tested to successfully reduce the symptoms and disabilities of many mental illnesses. Unfortunately, people distressed by these illnesses often do not seek out services or choose to fully engage in them. One factor that impedes care seeking and undermines the service system is mental illness stigma. In this article, we review the complex elements of stigma in order to understand its impact on participating in care. We then summarize public policy considerations in seeking to tackle stigma in order to improve treatment engagement. Stigma is a complex construct that includes public, self, and structural components. It directly affects people with mental illness, as well as their support system, provider network, and community resources. The effects of stigma are moderated by knowledge of mental illness and cultural relevance. Understanding stigma is central to reducing its negative impact on care seeking and treatment engagement. Separate strategies have evolved for counteracting the effects of public, self, and structural stigma. Programs for mental health providers may be especially fruitful for promoting care engagement. Mental health literacy, cultural competence, and family engagement campaigns also mitigate stigma's adverse impact on care seeking. Policy change is essential to overcome the structural stigma that undermines government agendas meant to promote mental health care. Implications for expanding the research program on the connection between stigma and care seeking are discussed. © The Author(s) 2014.

Attitudes and attitude change

Article

Full-text available

Jan 2011

Attitudes and attitude change remain core topics of contemporary social psychology. This selective review emphasizes work published from 2005 to 2009. It addresses constructionist and stable-entity conceptualizations of attitude, the distinction between implicit and explicit measures of attitude, and implications of the foregoing for attitude change. Associative and propositional processes in attitude change are considered at a general level and in relation to evaluative conditioning. The role of bodily states and physical perceptions in attitude change is reviewed. This is followed by an integrative perspective on processing models of persuasion and the consideration of meta-cognitions in persuasion. Finally, effects of attitudes on information processing, social memory, and behavior are highlighted. Core themes cutting across the areas reviewed are attempts at integrative theorizing bringing together formerly disparate phenomena and viewpoints.

Attitudes and opinions: Third edition

Article

Jan 2004

Notable advances resulting from new research findings, measurement approaches, widespread uses of the Internet, and increasingly sophisticated approaches to sampling and polling, have stimulated a new generation of attitude scholars. This extensively revised edition captures this excitement, while remaining grounded in scholarly research. Attitudes and Opinions, 3/e maintains one of the main goals of the original edition--breadth of coverage. The book thoroughly reviews both implicit and explicit measures of attitudes, the structure and function of attitudes, the nature of public opinion and polling, attitude formation, communication of attitudes and opinions, and the relationship between attitudes and behaviors, as well as theories and research on attitude change. Over 2,000 references support the book's scientific integrity. The authors' second goal is to demonstrate the relevance of the topic to people's lives. Subsequently, the second part of the book examines many of the topics and research findings that are salient in the world today--political and international attitudes (including terrorism), voting behavior, racism and prejudice, sexism and gender roles, and environmental attitudes. This thoroughly revised new edition features: * an entirely new chapter on implicit measures attitudes; * a new chapter on environmental attitudes; * updated opinion poll data throughout the book; * additional material on time trends in attitudes about many issues; and * expanded, updated sections on international attitudes reflecting the events of 9/11 and the subsequent invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. Attitudes and Opinions' broad and interdisciplinary perspective makes this an ideal text in courses on attitudes, public opinion, survey research, or persuasion, taught in a variety of departments including psychology, communication, marketing, sociology, and political science. © 2005 by Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, Inc.

Nursing Students’ Attitudes toward People with Mental Illness: Do they change after instruction and clinical exposure?

Article

Rachel Morrison

People with mental illness are among the most stigmatized groups of patients in the healthcare setting (Putnam, 2008). Nurses comprise roughly 15.3 percent of the healthcare team (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2010) and have frequent direct interactions with patients. As one of the larger groups of healthcare providers, nurses can potentially influence this stigma, either by contributing to the prevalent negative attitudes, or by confronting expressions of stigma. A requirement for licensure is to take a course in Mental Health. One of the goals of this course is to decrease stigma toward people with mental illness (American Association of Colleges of Nursing [AACN], 2008). To measure whether or not this course is effective in reducing stigma, the Community Attitudes toward Mental Illness (CAMI) scale created by Taylor and Dear (1981) was utilized to measure nursing students attitudes before and after taking the required Mental Health course at the University of South Florida (USF). The results of this study support that there was a decrease in authoritarian and socially restrictive attitudes towards people with mental illness after completion of the course, with the results being a close to significant. The recommendations include repeating the study over another semester in order to test validity of results, as well as to then utilize the results to assess the need for changes in course delivery or content.

The Advantages of an Inclusive Definition of Attitude

Article

Oct 2007
SOC COGNITION

In The Psychology of Attitudes, we provided an abstract - or umbrella - definition of attitude as "a psychological tendency that is expressed by evaluating a particular entity with some degree of favor or disfavor" (Eagly & Chaiken, 1993, p. 1). This definition encompasses the key features of attitudes - namely, tendency, entity (or attitude object), and evaluation. This conception of attitude distinguishes between the inner tendency that is attitude and the evaluative responses that express attitudes. Our definition invites psychologists to specify the nature of attitudes by proposing theories that provide metaphors for the constituents of the inner tendency that is attitude. We advocate theoretical metaphors that endow attitudes with structural qualities.

Young People's Stigmatizing Attitudes towards People with Mental Disorders: Findings from an Australian National Survey

Article

Sep 2011
AUST NZ J PSYCHIAT

The aim of this study was to carry out a national survey in order to assess young people's stigmatizing attitudes towards people with depression, anxiety disorders and psychosis/schizophrenia. In 2011, telephone interviews were carried out with 3021 Australians aged between 15 and 25 years. Participants were presented with a case vignette describing either depression, depression with suicidal thoughts, depression with alcohol misuse, psychosis/schizophrenia, social phobia or PTSD. Questions were asked about stigmatizing attitudes, including personal and perceived stigma and desire for social distance. Across all disorders, respondents were least likely to agree that they should avoid the person described in the vignette and most likely to endorse beliefs about unpredictability, particularly in the case of the psychosis/schizophrenia and depression with substance abuse vignettes. Social phobia was most likely to be seen as a sign of personal weakness or 'not a real medical illness'. Perception of stigma in others was greater than that reported by respondents themselves. Desire for social distance was greatest for the psychosis/schizophrenia vignette and lowest for PTSD. For each vignette, respondents were most unwilling to work on a project with the person described in the vignette, while desire for social distance was generally lowest for developing a close friendship. While young people associated all mental disorders with unpredictability, patterns of stigmatizing attitudes differed according to disorder, with notable differences between psychosis/schizophrenia and social phobia. Anti-stigma interventions should focus on individual disorders rather than on 'mental illness' in general and may need to address beliefs about unpredictability, social phobia as due to weakness of character and dangerousness in those with more severe disorders. Interventions should also focus on bringing beliefs about public perceptions in line with personal beliefs, as the latter are much less stigmatizing.
